NC State Archives

The NC State Archives are the holding place for many records generated across the State, including county and court records forwarded to them for holding.

Visit the Archives in person for research, and you can access their online presence at Home Page.  You can search their catalog of holdings as described at NC DOC Discover Online Catalog.

The staff of the Archives will search for specific records on request. The type of research that can be requested by mail from the State Archives is limited to those questions that can be answered by consulting a specific record. The Archives can respond to requests for records such as:

• Do you have a marriage bond for Elijah Coor and Grace Jones, Craven County, about 1800?
• Do you have a will for Elijah Coor of Craven County, about 1840?

The Archives is not authorized or staffed to engage in genealogical research. If you have a question about the feasibility or cost of a search, please email them at this address.

The best page to see what is available and what can be ordered is the Services page.
