Excerpt from Guide to Depositories of Manuscript Collections in North Carolina
Within recent years North Carolinians have become conscious as never before of the need of preserving their historical records, and have assembled a number of fine collections of both official and unofficial manuscript materials. Among the chief collections are those at the University of N orth Carolina, in Chapel Hill at Duke University, in Durham; at the North Carolina Historical Commission, in Raleigh; at the Moravian Church Archives, in winston-salem; and at the Historical Foundation of the Presby terian and Reformed Churches, at Montreat. The assembling and preservation of these materials has been a major factor in the leadership assumed by the State of N orth Carolina and its citizens in the current renascence of the writing of Southern history.
