Wilson Library Improvement Project: a three year update

In late October, UNC Chapel Hill Libraries announced that Wilson Library,  will be closed to the public and staff for a few years. A phased closure is expected to begin in August 2024 and  last  approximately three years.  

While this closure affects many records and holdings needed for genealogical research, there will be accommodations made to keep records available. The  DigitalNC blogpost about the project states: 

“During this time, critical updates will be made to the building including extending sprinkler coverage, creating emergency egress stairs, and upgrading the fire alarm system. NCDHC staff and the equipment we use will be relocated during much of this time. 

We wanted to make sure you know that our services will continue, though we may have to make some adjustments regarding capacity. We’ll be back in touch with updates as plans develop. 

If you have questions related to NCDHC operations, feel free to contact us. You can also visit the project’s official Library page for details and updates.”
