THE COLONIAL AND STATE RECORDS OF NORTH CAROLINA
Probably the most frequently used and certainly among the most valuable sources for the student and historian of early North Carolina are two series of printed and published documents sometimes referred to as The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina. This title is not entirely accurate; and since researchers and librarians far removed from North Carolina may have difficulty in identifying these volumes in library card catalogs, they may find the following exact citations to be of interest:
