Rick, I will first give you the step-by-step method to get to these records and then attempt to give you the final URL. Start on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill home page http://www.unc.edu/ Click on the Carolina Blue word "Libraries" in the righthand column which takes you to the page: http://www.lib.unc.edu/ From here there are multiple possible pathways. One way from here........... You can scroll to the little pictures in the LOWER RIGHT of this page and click on the word "DocSouth" in the picture legend that reads "Digital Collections including DocSouth" That takes you to the home page for the Documenting the South at http://docsouth.unc.edu/ Click on the DROP-DOWN for "Collections" The second little picture or the words "The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina (Beta)" take you to the page http://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/ They loaded volumes 1-10 and 12 over the New Year's break earlier this week. Try browsing pages, searching the index, etc. Remember this is a BETA/Test version and is only part of the eventual 30 volumes. Another way to get to the Digital CSR database is here............
