Truly fortunate that so many of these have survived. Probably a million wet plate photos were made during  the civil war on glass plate.  Popular during the war, they  lost their appeal afterwards and so many were sold for the  glass.  Many used in green houses. Over the years the sun  caused the images to disappear.

They have digitized many papers — from their site, “These materials
include papers dating from 1752-1890s from cities like Edenton
(1787-1801), Fayetteville (1798-1795), Hillsboro (1786), New Bern
(1751-1804), Salisbury (1799-1898), and Wilmington (1765-1816) – a total
of 23,483 digital images that are keyword searchable.”

Newspapers are fundamental research tools for all researchers, from elementary school students and casual readers to university faculty and professional genealogists.  No other published source covers such a wide range of material and reaches so deeply into the communities in our state. They provide a wealth of data about the civic, political, cultural, and social events of the periods they document. Historic newspapers offer an intimate close-up view of the American past that few other sources can provide.

In 2009, the North Carolina State Archives completed a project to digitize newspapers from it’s collection that were, up until that time, only available on microfilm. These materials include papers dating from 1752-1890s from cities like Edenton (1787-1801), Fayetteville (1798-1795), Hillsboro (1786), New Bern (1751-1804), Salisbury (1799-1898), and Wilmington (1765-1816) – a total of 23,483 digital images that are keyword searchable. The project was made possible by a LSTA grant provided by the State Library of North Carolina.
