Hi Everyone, I've been working on old newspaper research and thought that some of you may find some of this interesting and or useable information. You may just find something terrific for you own research through one of these microfilmed newspapers. I'll put the links to get you started at the bottom of this note. Also, I noticed today that the NC Archives has quite a number of searchable ancient newspaper articles that you can browse through at will. There are some amazing things to read about from these old papers. That's located at: http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hp/colonial/newspapers/default.htm North Carolina Newspapers Here are some newspapers that were published during the 1780's in NC: 1.

Since 1959 more than 1,000 titles have been preserved. An ongoing joint project between the Division of Archives and History and the Division of State Library is attempting to identify and catalog every existing newspaper published in North Carolina. Those meeting specific criteria are being microfilmed. Copies of film made by the NC Newspaper Project will be available for use by researchers in the Microfilm Room. Information for titles on film is available in the Search Room or at: http://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/tss/newspape.htm. Best Regards ~ Marianne
