Each tour lasts 45-60 minutes, concluding by noon. The Archives tour is
optional; participants can choose to visit only the library first. Research is
not permitted on this day as both facilities are closed to the public on
Mondays.
The NC Archives has original documents and some books but it's only about North
Carolina. The staff will explain the types of materials in the archives and how
to request them. They will have documents ready for us to look at. You can ask
questions. The tour includes the vault which is normally closed to the public.
The State Library (Genealogy Room) has books and materials from other states in
addition to N.C. The staff will explain the types of materials and how to
request them. The library has many resources including vertical files
(miscellaneous documents donated to the library), free access to databases
including newspaper websites and Fold3, an overhead copy machine, and more.
N.C. residents can get a free library card to check out books and to use some
databases from home.
For questions, contact Barbara McGeachy at President@WakeCoGen.org
We look forward to seeing you on June 23!
