Guide
to African American Documentary Resources in North Carolina
The Manuscripts Department of
the Academic Affairs Library of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill has a long tradition for documenting the history and culture
of the American South. Because African Americans have played an integral
and leading role in forming that history, records relevant to
African-American life and culture constitute a prominent portion of the
department's holdings of nearly 14.5 million items."

Historic
Court Records 'The
information presented by Historic Court Records are primarily extracts
of "loose papers" - the paper trail behind Court Order Book
entries. Fortunately, it appears that most "loose papers"
survived the turmoil of the Civil War even though Fredericksburg changed
hands a number of times and was decimated during the 1862 Battle of
Fredericksburg. The
history
behind Fredericksburg's "loose papers" is complicated since a
number of different courts sat in the Fredericksburg Courthouse over the
years and those courts served many jurisdictions, not just
Fredericksburg...'
