02 BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY July 1, 1956, to June 30, 1958

Long-Range View

During the 1957-1958 fiscal year the Department's Ad- visory Committee held a series of meetings in order to view the Department's program in perspective—to take stock of what we have accomplished in the past, what we have failed to accomplish, where we stand today, and what should be our major future objectives, both short-term and long- range. Attending the meetings (or at least a portion of them) were the Director, the Budget Officer, the four division heads, the Records Center Supervisor, and the Admin- istrative Assistant of the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association. The eight sessions lasted some two hours each—a total of approximately sixteen hours—and a full and free discussion was held of the various phases of our over-all program. It was felt that the conferences did much to clarify our thinking regarding the Department's major objectives and accomplishments, to show in broad view not merely the individual trees but the forest as a whole. We sought to paint the picture with broad strokes of the brush, omitting routine matters and trivial details. The major points that were made (many of which are further elaborated in the reports of the four divisions and in the appendixes) are these: Past Accomplishments

Since its establishment in 1903 the Department of Archives and History (until 1943 the Historical Commis- sion) has made great progress along many lines: 1. From an annual appropriation of $500 in 1903 and $5,000 in 1907 to $346,535 in 1957-1958.1 2. From a salaried staff- of none in 1903 to one in 1907 to forty-two in 1957-1958.

3. In Raleigh, from one small room at the beginning to a total of 48,890 square feet in 1957-1958. 4. Throughout the State, from custody of no historic sites to custody of a number of significant areas. 5. From a somewhat limited field of collecting, preserving, and publishing archives and manuscripts to today's comprehensive program of (a) conducting a well-rounded archives program; (b) handling records administration for the State, the counties, and the municipalities; (c) publishing documentary volumes, a historical quarterly, a newsletter, pamphlets, and leaflets; (d) maintaining the State historical museum and leading a program for historical museums throughout the State; (e) developing and maintaining historic properties throughout North Carolina and marking historic sites; (f) strengthening and broadening the work and activities of the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association, and finally (g) serving as a clearing house for the historical interests and activities of our people. 6. From a small, limited place in the State government to recognition as a Department performing vital services to other State agencies, State Department of Archives and History 9

7. From limited beginnings to broad and recognized services to the counties and municipalities. 8. From a little-known status to recognition and appreciation by the people of the State. 9. From obscurity to a national and international repu- tation. General Needs Thus the Department hag come a long way, and its services and accomplishments have won wide recognition. In- creasingly it has sought to serve not merely limited classes of college and university history professors, scholars, researchers, and other similar groups, based upon a kind of trickle-down philosophy that if such groups are served, eventually the service will trickle down to other groups and individuals. Rather, without sacrificing or lessening the services to such special groups, the Department has undertaken to render a variety of services to all the people. In the beginning most of the services rendered were limited to the State Capital. It was as though we said to the people, "We have certain things to offer you, but you will have to come to Raleigh to get them." Recently a broad extension program has been undertaken—to carry the De- partment's services to all the population in all parts of the State. Although we have come a long way, we should not rest on our laurels but rather should seek to go on to even greater achievements. What are our chief problems and needs? There are certain needs that are felt in practically

all of the Department's activities, as follows:

1. More space in Raleigh. Nearly all parts of our program are handicapped by lack of adequate space. For example, we estimate that the archives areas will be completely filled in two more years, so that there ivill he no space whatsoever in which to place inco}ynng archives afid manuscripts. The storage areas for the Department's publications are chock- ablock. The areas for the study collections of the Hall of History are inadequate. And so it goes throughout. The Department simply cannot function adequately or render 10 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report maximum services to the people of the State until it has adequate space, 2. Specially designed space. The Department's Raleigh functions are now conducted in an office building (the Edu- cation Building) , where they can never be carried on most efficiently. Much of the present area is not suitably designed for the Department's specialized functions. Through several of the archives areas pass large pipes that carry heat to other parts of the building, so that it is well-nigh impossible to maintain proper temperature and humidity for the preservation of manuscript materials—and yet here are milHons of records of the State and counties, going back far into the colonial period, unique and irreplaceable. Much of the exhibit space in the Hall of History is lost because, contrary to modern museum design, most of the outer wall space is taken up with large windows. These and other examples that could be cited indicate that the Department can never render the full services it should until it is provided with specially designed quarters. 3. New building. The only solution to the problems outlined in the paragraphs above appears to be the erection of a new structure, specially designed for the Department's functions and activities and suitably equipped, planned to take care of hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Many of the states of the Union have constructed such buildings within recent years. Every State that borders on North Carolina—Virginia, South CaroHna, Georgia, and Tennessee—has recently either erected such an edifice or else has appropriated funds to begin construction. It is in a sense ironical that North Carolina, with a recorded history going back to Queen Elizabeth I of England and Sir Walter Raleigh, and even beyond—as far back as or even further than the history of any of the States mentioned above—has not yet constructed an adequate building to provide for the State's historical activities.

4. Facilities at historic sites. At the Department's historic site projects the lack of museum and general purpose buildings, dwelling houses for project personnel, rest rooms, and other facilities seriously hamper the Historic Sites Program. State Department of Archives and History 11

5. A larger staff. While the number of employees has increased rapidly in recent years, there is yet the opportunity to render greater services if additional staff members are provided. With a larger staff we could better serve the thousands of searchers who each year make use of the records, we could do a better job of records administration, we could preform a more useful service in the field of historic sites—and so on throughout the range of the Depart- ment's various activities. 6. Higher salary ranges. The Department is no longer a small, unknown agency but is in the main stream of historical activities throughout the Nation. Thus in employing and holding competent personnel it finds itself in competi- tion with top-notch agencies and organizations, public and private, throughout the entire United States. Within the past few years, through the co-operation of the State Per- sonnel Department and the Budget Division, salaries have been raised substantially. In order to maintain high standards, however, yet higher salary ranges are or soon will be needed. 7. More funds. With prices creeping upward year by year, some increase in available funds will be needed merely to stand still. In order to conduct the enlarged program outlined above and below, or any major part thereof, con- siderably larger appropriations will be required.

Specific Functions

The needs outlined above are felt in all areas of the De- partment's program. While we will seek not to repeat them as we now take up specific duties and functions, these common needs are almost universally present.

Archives and Manuscripts: The function of acquiring, preserving, and making available for use the non-current archives of the various State agencies and of the counties, together with collections of private and unofficial papers, was one of the first to be emphasized as soon as the agency became active. R. D, W. Connor, the first head, ferreted out from closets, attics, and basements, large quantities of documents, some dating , :

12 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

far back into the colonial period, from the various provin- cial congresses, State constitutional conventions, the Gover- nor, the Secretary of State, and other State officials. In later years this program has been continued and expanded to include county and other local records, private manuscripts, and all types of materials. Today the Department's achievements and services in the field of archives and manuscripts are recognized as among the best of any State of the Union. The chief needs in this field appear to be as follows 1. The processing of records already in the Archives. For a number of years more materials were brought in than could be made immediately available. The result was the accumulation of a large backlog of records to which the public did not have access. Within the past two years a concerted effort has been made to process this backlog of records by repairing (where necessary), arranging, shelving, and the preparation of finding aids. The result is that a considerable portion of the backlog has been made available. There is yet a long way to go, however, and consistent effort and hard work will be needed to do the job. As soon as practicable, a new guide to the Department's archives and manuscripts should be prepared and published.

2. The acquisition of additional State and local records. There are yet many records of State agencies and the counties, and some records of the municipalities, that are worth preserving, that cannot be adequately cared for where they now are, and that should be transferred to the Archives.

3. The local records program needs to be expanded. The General Assembly of 1957 appropriated funds for the salary of a Public Records Examiner to operate in this field. We

were not able to fill this position by the end of the biennium (but it was filled effective August 1, 1958, and great things are expected) 4. An enlarged program for the acquisition of the private papers of prominent North Carolinians is needed. The Department has recently obtained the papers of Thurmond Chatham, R. Gregg Cherry, and W. Kerr Scott. There would appear to be a special reason for the Department's having the private papers of the governors and other State : :

State Department of Archives and History i;} officials. In most instances it already has their official papers, and it will be decidedly convenient to researchers if the private papers of such officials can be in the same depository. As scholars well know, the distinction between public business and private affairs is often nebulous, or there is over- lapping between the two, so that the researcher needs to use both kinds of material. It will be to his advantage if they are all in the same place. In this connection the Executive Board of the Department on March 14, 1958, passed the following resolution

". . . That the families of all recent governors, including the present governor and all future governors, who have not yet placed the private papers of such governors in a public depository, be invited to deposit such papers with the Department, since the official papers of all the governors are already there and it is much more convenient for the researcher if all the papers of one man, both private and public papers, are in the same place."

Shortly thereafter the Department launched a concerted campaign to acquire the papers of former governors, and at the end of the biennium the chances of success in this field seemed excellent.

5. A program for microfilming early North Carolina newspapers and county records should be undertaken. Many of both, if not filmed soon, will be irreparably lost. With the experience that the Department has had with microfilming, it seems the logical agency to undertake both projects.

Rccoids Maiiuycinviil As will be seen in the report of the Records Management Supervisor, below, very gratifying progress has been made in this field. Though the program is comparatively new, it has rapidly gone ahead and has won recognition from many of the State departments and agencies. It has a feature that appeals immediately to budget and administrative officials. While such things as preserving historical documents for re.search purposes, marking historic spots, maintaining a historical museum, or publishing historical materials may : —

14 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

have some appeal to such officials, such functions in most instances are more or less intangible and the return there- from cannot be reduced to dollars and cents. On the other hand, a records management program, which can show that over a certain period of time it has made available so many square feet of office space at a saving of so many dollars to the State—such a program easily proves its immediate and tangible value. The establishment of the new Department of Adminis-

tration, effective July 1, 1957, has served to strengthen the records management program. The new department has employed a Management Analyst, and he has been co- operating closely with the Department of Archives and History in meeting problems of records management. The chief needs of the Records Management Program seem to be the following 1. Shelving in the Records Center. The installation of such shelving, going all the way to the ceiling, will approximately double the amount of records space and will thus alleviate this problem. Before many years the entire present building will be needed for the Records Center. 2. Participation in the program by a number of State agencies that do not now participate. Though most of the larger departments have now taken advantage of this service, there are several agencies that have not yet done so. It will be to their advantage to participate, for such action will go a long way toward solving their records problems at no cost to the agencies. 3. Inclusion in the program of the various Stale institutions wherever located and of branches of State agencies outside the City of Raleigh. So far very little has been done in this field. 4. Rounding out the Records Management Program. So far the program has concentrated on inventorying, disposal schedules, microfilming, and operation of the Records Cen- ter. Little has been done in the areas of records creation, filing, mailing room procedures, and the like, and such areas need to be covered in order to make the program comprehensive and complete. : ^ :

5. Establishment of an organization of records adminis- trators of all State agencies. Such an organization could meet periodically and discuss various problems of records management, in co-operation with the staff of the Depart- ment's Records Management program and personnel from the Department of Administration. An organization of this kind has functioned among United States government agencies for a number of years, with excellent results.

Historic Sites:

The Historic Sites function was transferred to the De- partment only very recently, by the General Assembly of 1955. It is believed that a sound foundation has been laid for one of the best programs in this field in the entire Nation, but time will be required to develop that program adequately. It is not possible to take over a historic site, and then in a few weeks or months to conduct the research that is essential to any such project, to reconstruct or restore historic buildings, to provide necessary public facilities, and otherwise to develop the area as a full-fledged and complete historic site, such as Mount Vernon or Gettysburg Battleground. Years are required to perform such a task satisfactorily. In the three years since the program was taken over, a great deal has been accomplished. At present the Depart- ment directly administers six projects and assists or co- operates in relation to nine others. The chief needs appear to be as follows 1. To publicize and make known to our people the meaning and scope of the program in the following ways a. Scope. The program does not and was never intended or expected to mean that the State will take over and maintain or provide financial aid to projects other than those of national or statewide historical significance. Merely local projects should be locally financed and administered. Criteria in this connection have been adopted by the department and are summarized below. b. Balance. The historic sites developed should illus-

" See below, pp. 35, 36. 16 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

trate the various periods and phases of the history of North Carolina.

c. Geographical distribution. Insofar as practicable the various sites should portray the development of the different areas of the State, from the Atlantic Coast to and including the mountain region. 2. Educational value. Historic sites are very effective in bringing alive for school children and adults the heritage of the past. When the program has been fully developed, it is expected that the various sites will be visited annually by hundreds of thousands of persons, children and adults, who will thus be taught history in a vivid and realistic way. 3. Commercial potential. The development of thousands of historic sites throughout the Nation has proved beyond any shadow of doubt that these are major tourist attrac- tions, and that as such they can yield large financial returns, both in the form of taxes to the State and local units of government and as profits to businessmen. It has been stated that if Rockefeller had not restored Colonial Wil-

liamsburg, it would have paid the State of Virginia to do so. There is a similar great potential in many of the historic sites in North Carolina. 4. Capital improvements at the sites. There is a pressing need for capital improvements at the various sites. A typical historic site consists of a tract of land with historic buildings or other features. The problem is to restore, maintain, and exhibit the property. To meet these requirements a tyi)ical project needs adequate access roads and i)arking lots, rest rooms, a museum-reception center building, and a dwelling house for the full time Historic Site Specialist in charge. Most of the Department's six projects yet lack proper development and suitable public facilities. Until they are adequately developed. North Carolina will not have the high-standard, well-rounded historic sites program that is justified and called for by the length, dignity, and significance of our history.

Museums:

The museums function is not one of the very oldest of the Department, but it goes back to the year 1914, when the Statk Dkpaktment of Archives and History 17

Hall of History (State historical museum) was taken over. For a long period the emphasis in this field was primarily on collecting, but within recent years the program has been shifted to emphasize education and interpretation. Little collecting has been necessary lately, and the major tasks have been to inventory, classify, and record the large collections that were acquired earlier and to make proper selective use of them for exhibits. The chief needs of the Division of Museums, as indicated in the report of the Museum Administrator in the pages below, would seem to lie in the development of the program along lines that have already been laid out, but which, as with practically all of the Department's functions, has been handicapped by lack of sufficient space, equipment, staff, and funds. Important among these needs are the following, all within the general field of educational activities:

1. School visitation. Every year tens of thousands of school children from all parts of the State visit the Hall of History, the overwhelming majority of them in groups. For each group requesting it a special program is presented. During the spring months, especially April, this one function requires a very large part of the time of the entire museum staff, disrupting other activities. There is a need to make arrangements whereby this does not happen, and also to improve and broaden the program that is presented. 2. School extension. Already, insofar as present resources will permit, traveling exhibits are sent to the schools, members of the staff make talks to school groups, television school history lessons are presented, and slide programs with accompanying scripts are i)repared, scheduled, and mailed to the schools. There are fine possibilities for ex- panding and improving these various activities. 3. Museum classes. The classes in the museum that have been given to students within the past few years have served to illustrate what can be accomplished in this realm. This program should be greatly expanded. 4. Junior Historian Program. This program was authorized by the General Assembly in 1953, but no special appropriation for the purpose has ever been made. Present staff 18 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

members, already with full-time duties, have attempted to carry it on in a limited way, but it should be conducted on a full-scale basis. Texas, New York, Wisconsin, and other States of the Union have shown what can be accomplished in this field.

5. Traveling historical museum. In the past, for several years, the Department kept in the field a traveling museum that visited the schools and other public places. Such a mobile museum can render a great service to the large majority of school children and others who are not in a position personally to visit the Hall of History. What can be done has been shown in Virginia, Florida, Illinois, and other States. Such a museum on wheels ought to be put back on the roads of North Carolina.

6. Statewide museum development. The Museum Admin- istrator and other staff members have done a great deal to stimulate and assist in the establishment and maintenance of high-standard historical museums throughout North Carolina. With adequate resources a great deal more could and should be done along this line.

7. Public relations. The Hall of History is one of the main channels through which the Department maintains contact with the four and one-half million citizens of the State, seeks to interest and inform them regarding their history. With sufficient resources, much more could be done to develop a publicity and public relations program.

8. Rounding out exhibits. Among the exhibits now in the Hall of History, certain phases of our past, especially the military, seem to have been duly, perhaps unduly, emphasized. Other topics appear to deserve more emphasis, particularly economic history.

9. Rotating exhibits. An up-to-date museum frequently rotates many of its exhibits. The Hall of History, it is hoped, can do more of this in the future. 10. Expansion of the program. In general, as indicated above, the foundations in the Hall of History have been firmly laid. What is now needed is primarily expansion and improvement of the program within that broad frame. :

State Department ()V Archives and History I'J

Publications: The act establishing the Historical Commission in 1903 authorized that agency to publish and distribute materials on North Carolina history. As soon as the Commission became active it began to perform this function, as is indicated in the report of the Editor below, and has done so ever since. To date a total of more than 400 publications have been issued—volumes of documents, numbers of the quarterly North Carolina Historical Review (established in 1924), numbers of Carolina Comments (begun in 1952 and

issued every two months) , and charts, pamphlets, and leaflets, especially for school children. These various series of publications have won national and international recognition, and the North Carolina program of historical publication is generally recognized as among the best throughout the Union. By all means it should be continued. The major policies that ought to be followed, and needs of the program, seem to be as follows

1. Documentary volumes. To date sixty-six volumes of documents, calendars or inventories of documents, or other materials have been issued, and scholars everywhere agree that these have maintained a high standard of excellence. Materials for more than a dozen additional volumes are either ready for the printer or are in various stages of preparation, and there are such quantities of other material worthy of publication that this program can and should be continued for many years to come. 2. Compensation for editors. The editors of the documentary \olumes listed in the paragraph above spend hundreds and even thousands of hours in the preparation of each volume, in addition to travel and other expenses. While the State will hardly be able in the foreseeable future to pay these editors what their work is actually worth, nevertheless there ought to be at least an incentive payment for each volume. This would make it possible for the De- partment on the one hand to contract more easily with competent editors and on the other hand to require the very highest quality of workmanship. 20 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

3. The North Carolina Historical Review. This is recognized as one of the best historical quarterlies in the Nation and should be carried on. Efforts should be continued to make the magazine as attractive and readable as possible without sacrifice of scholarly quality. The Editorial Board of The Revieiv should be compensated for their services, as was done before the economic depression of the 1930's. 4. Carolina Comments. This newsletter covering historical activities in the State has done much to stimulate interest in the field and to coordinate various efforts and programs. By all means it should be continued. 5. Pamphlets and leaflets. These are intended and designed to be popular publications, useful especially to students in the State's elementary and high schools. For several years, without sacrificing or harming in any way the other phases of the publication program, more emphasis has been placed on publishing this type of material, and it is believed that this policy and practice should continue to be followed.

The reports of the divisions and the appendixes that follow give detailed information regarding the fine record of achievement of the past two years. DIVISION OF ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPTS

H. G. Jones, State Archivist

The Division of Archives and Manuscripts consists of two closely related but physically separated sections—the Archives proper and the Records Management Program. Significant accomplishments have been made during the

past two years in both sections : in the acceleration of acces- sioning, preserving, and administering public and private papers, and of inventorying, scheduling, microfilming, and storing records of state agencies.

During the biennium emphasis in the Archives was placed on bringing under control vast quantities of records already in the Department, and in this respect the following report will give evidence of steady progress. Attention in the Records Management section was given to consolidating and strengthening the program which, during the biennium, "came of age" by extending its services to most of the larger state agencies and by improving both procedures and efficiency. The Archives, under direct supervision of the State Archivist, and the Records Management Program, under immediate charge of Mrs. Fannie Memory Blackwelder, Records Center Supervisor, will be discussed separately below.

The Archives Someone has said that an administrator often measures progress from the moment that he assumes responsibility over a particular program. If, therefore, this report should have a much more optimistic tone than the report of two years ago, it is hoped that such a result will be only partially due to that adage. Progress has been marked in certain areas of the archival program, considerable in some, and nil in others. Part of such progress was due to changes in emphasis in adminis-

tering the Division ; some resulted from the employment

of additional staff members ; and some resulted from greater 22 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report efficiency on the part of the staff and the use of better procedures. At the outset of the biennium, attention was focused on the most pressing problem facing the Division : Several thousand cubic feet of public records and some private collections were stored in the Archives but were unavailable for public or staff use because they had never been properly arranged and described. The cause of this backlog was shortage of staff to do the necessary work. To add to the internal problem of the Division, the air conditioning system in the stacks areas had not functioned properly for several years. This situation, coupled with the fact that the Division had no janitorial services, had led to conditions that needed immediate attention.

After twelve months of cutting budget red tape and prod- ding air conditioning contractors, the air-humidity controls .

State Department of Archives and History 23 were made to function properly in the summer of 1957. At the same time funds were transferred to pay the wages of a janitor in the Archives. Meanwhile a report on the needs of the Division was prepared by the State Archivist and presented first to the Director and Departmental Advisory Committee, then to the Executive Board. When the Advisory Budget Commission failed to recommend any staff increase for the Division, an appeal was made early in 1957 directly to the Joint Appro- priations Committee of the General Assembly. This appeal was supported by the personal appearance of the Director and State Archivist who displayed examples of improperly stored and arranged records (as they had previously shown the Governor during a personal tour through the Archives) The General Assembly responded by authorizing the addition of three new employees—one Pubhc Records Examiner and one Archivist I for the Archives, and one Photogra- pher I to be shared by the Archives and the Hall of History. The addition of these employees made possible in 1957 the inauguration of a persistent program of bringing under proper controls the vast quantities of materials already in the Archives but not available to the public. Although the Public Records Examiner position was not filled,' funds for that purpose were used to employ temporary personnel. While services to the public were not neglected, they were de-emphasized until such time as the unarranged records could be made available for researchers. At the end of the biennium, out of a staff" of nine persons, only the equivalent of about one and a half persons was assigned to direct and immediate public service. The rem.ainder were assigned to the behind-the-scenes work of preparing records groups for public use. It is to be hoped that this "austerity" program can be relaxed as personnel needs of the Division are more nearly met in the future. In retrospect, tangible improvements can be seen in the following areas: A large quantity of records groups were

properly arranged and described ; air conditioning and hu-

midity controls were put into proi)er working order; a janitor was employed to carry on a continuous cleaning job

in the Division ; other new employees were added ; the Laminating Operator was assigned to repair historical records in the Archives rather than for another state agency; two leaflets ("Services to the Public", 1956, and "Historical Research", 1957) and three form letters for genealogical answers were printed and distributed through the co-operation of the Division of Publications ; the handbook, "County

Records in North Carolina : Preservation, Reproduction, Disposal," was mimeographed and distributed to county

officials ; microfilm cabinets were purchased for the storage

of the film which formerly sat on an open shelf ; new equip-

ment was added in various ofllices ; an additional office was

obtained for use by the Division ; several significant records groups and private collections were accessioned ; copies of materials pertinent to North Carolina history were purchased from the National Archives and the Library of Con- gress ; air conditioning units were installed in the Laminat- ing-County Records Receiving Room and the Microfilm-

Fumigating Room ; floors in the Archives were painted ; and the County Records Program w^as strengthened.

Accessions: •

During the biennium the Department lost loyal friends in the deaths of Senator and former Governor W. Kerr Scott, former Governor R. Gregg Cherry, and former Congress- man Thurmond Chatham. All three had made unique contributions to the work of the Department, and it was conse- quently appropriate for the personal papers of these political leaders to be transferred to the Archives for permanent preservation. The Cherry Papers constitute the largest and most comprehensive personal collection in the Department. The Chatham and Scott papers consist primarily of papers created during their service in the United States Congress. All three collections will be closed to the public for ten years. Other significant personal accessions were the papers of

- For a list of Ai-ohives and Manusrript Accessions, see Appendix VIII. p. 73. State Department of Archives and History 25

Dr. Clarence Poe and the late Clarence Grittin and Lillian Dodd. Large quantities of records were accessioned from Bertie, Chatham, Cumberland, and Surry counties, and smaller quantities from other counties. Significant additions on the state level included materials from the offices of the Gov- ernor, Attorney General, Auditor, Motor Vehicles Commis- sioner, and Banking Department.

Control: Major emphasis during the biennium was placed upon the processing of large quantities of records already in the Archives. Gratifying progress has been made in this respect. Even so, without additional staff the task of gaining control over the backlog while keeping up with current accessions will take many years. Among the accomplishments were the

processing of the following groups : the papers of Governor 0. Max Gardner; records of Bertie, Chatham, Cumberland, Surry, and Wake counties; W. P. A. Writers' Project and

Historical Records Survey materials ; and the personal papers of Thurmond Chatham, R. Gregg Cherry, and Clar- ence GrifRn. Another project completed in co-operation with the Rec- ords Management staff was the indexing of Civil War pension applications. This index comprised five typed volumes, and was also microfilmed and made available to other institutions. The 107,000-card index to John W. Moore, Roster of North CaroJirm Troops in the War Between the States, was microfilmed and approximately a half-dozen libi'aries purchased copies of the filmed index. The special agriculture, industry, mortality, and social statistics schedules of the Censuses of 1850 through 1880 were obtained from the State Library. These valuable original records were microfilmed and the originals withdrawn because of deteriorating condition. A similar procedure was followed in the case of a number of bulky records such as tax lists when the originals were in such bad condition that they could not be used. 26 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

Repair and Restoration: Almost 16,000 pages of manuscript records were laminated during the biennium.'- Attention was given primarily to county court minutes and the loose legislative papers to 1777, but several other valuable documents were included. With the co-operation of the Division of Publications the rebinding of selected volumes in the Archives was resumed. It is hoped that funds will be available in the future for an acceleration of this program. The laminating output was much below normal, partially because of staff change-overs. With a more experienced operator and the installation of air conditioning, the production should approximately double in the next biennium.

Service to the Public:^ To state a disturbing fact—but not a novel one—the Archives section is not sufficiently staffed to give the desired service to the public. Nevertheless, an effort has been made to provide minimum demands. A total of 5,829 researchers registered in the Search Room during the biennium, an increase of 8 per cent over the previous two years. Mail inquiries answered in the Search Room numbered 5,019, an increase of 14 per cent. Every State in the Union except Nevada and North Dakota was represented in these numbers, plus Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, Canada, Great Britain, and Mexico. These figures do not include hundreds of visitors in the State Archivist's office and letters answered directly by him. North Carolina led the list of States served, followed in order by Texas, Mississippi, Ten- nessee, Alabama, Georgia, California, and Virginia. The staff furnished 5,358 photocopies for a return of

$2,815 ; 669 microfilm prints for $429 ; 653 certified copies for $653; and 4,929 feet of microfilm for $211. Thus the total income of the Archives section was $4,108. This

State Department of Archives and History 27 amount does not include reproductions made for use in the Department for which no charge was made. With the co-operation of Mrs. Frances H. Whitley, a former employee of the Department, official records of Cas- well, Craven, Currituck, Franklin, Granville, Northampton, and Wayne counties were laminated. The Department fur- nishes the equipment and materials at no cost to the counties in order to encourage the restoration of valuable records. In addition, many private papers were laminated through this program. Finally, the State Archivist visited officials in fifteen counties in connection with their records problems.-^ With the addition of the position of Public Records Examiner, this field service will be more readily available in the future. During the biennium several persons distinguished in the field of archival science visited the Division to observe methods and facilities. Included among these were the archivists of Western Australia, Hawaii, and Canada, and the Secretary of State of Georgia. The North Carolina De- partment of Archives and History, which was a pioneer in the field, continues to be a leader among archival institutions in the United States.

Staff: In the summer of 1957 the State Archivist attended in Washington, D. C, the Institute on the Administration and Preservation of Archives, sponsored jointly by the National Archives, American University, Library of Congress, and Maryland Hall of Records. He also observed the archival programs in Pennsylvania and Georgia and in the United Nations. The accomplishments of the Archives section during the past two years have been made possible through the work of more than a dozen employees who worked for either a part or all of the period of this report. Their names are listed in an appendix. Without an appreciation of his work and an interest in preserving North Carolina history, an employee in the Archives will be unhappy as well as of

28 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report little use. The Archives section has been fortunate in havin^^ among its employees persons who were committed to their work and who have taken pride in their accomplishments. This biennial report will chronicle some of these accomplishments.

A Program for the Future: The alleviation of the perpetual problem of insufficient funds for staff, equipment, and supplies lies only in an increased public awareness of the importance of the State's archival institution. Aside from that general problem, the following programs should be undertaken as time and funds permit 1. The processing of records already in the Archives should be pursued vigorously to the end that no group of records is unavailable to the public except where time restrictions have been placed on them. 2. The transfer of valuable records to the Archives should be encouraged by State agencies, counties, and municipalities when (a) they are no longer needed in the office of origin; (b) the office of origin cannot adequately care for them; or (c) their location in a central depository would best serve the cause of security and research. 3. The Local Records Program should be expanded to enable the Department to give greater service to county and municipal officials in their records problems. This can be done by making more field service available. 4. A microfilming program for security and research purposes should be inaugurated by this Department in the field of early North Carolina newspapers and county records. In the case of the newspapers an effort should be made to film every known copy of every North Carolina newspaper prior to the Civil War. A county records microfilming program should include the copying of all county records ad- judged to be of permanent value. 5. A continuous effort should be made to improve the finding aids in the Archives. When these aids have been put into good shape, a new guide to personal collections, as well as a description of the official records, should be published and made available for public purchase. State Department op' Archives and History 2!)

6. Finally, the Archives section shares with the remain- der of the Department an urgent need for a new building. Within two years all stack areas will be filled, and it will only be through a great deal of re-arranging that the available space can be made to last that long. In addition, there is insufficient work space for the staff, and the Search Room has become too small to take care of the thousands of visitors in the Archives each year.

Records Management Program

Gratifying progress was made in the Records Manage- ment Program. Under the able supervision of Mrs. Fannie Memory Blackv/elder, Records Management Supervisor, the program was consolidated and strengthened. In 1958 the Commission on Reorganization of State Government made a survey of the work which resulted in a report expressing approval of the program. An effort was made to systematize the Records Manage- ment Program. Records which were brought into the Rec- ords Center when the program was first begun were inven- toried and a control system was initiated for prompt disposal of obsolete records. The Department's services in inventorying and scheduling were pubHcized by mimeographed materials and by a printed leaflet which was distributed to pubHc officials and to the public at large. A manual of procedures was written and mimeographed so that each person on the Records Management staff would have specific information as to policies and procedures. The North Carolina statutes regarding records were compiled and summarized by the Records Center Supervisor. As a further step in increasing the efficiency of records management in North Carolina, the Supervisor attended the Fourth Records Management Institute, sponsored by the National Archives and the American University, in Wash- ington, in June, 1957. Two of the archivists attended the Correspondence Workshop in Raleigh, sponsored by the National Archives and Records Service, in the fall of 1957. In February, 1958, the same workshop was given for repre- 30 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

As a result of better understanding on the part of State agencies, more and more of them requested the services of the Department of Archives and History in connection with their records problems. During the biennium nineteen inventories and administrative histories were completed and an introductory statement of authorization, making the schedules the official guides for the handling of records, was signed by the head of the department creating the records and by the Director of the Department of Archives and History.' There was a vast volume of turnover in records. As inventories of records already in the Records Center were completed and schedules adopted, much of the material which had been brought in several years ago without being

During the biennium 7,480 cubic feet of records were brought in and 6,667 cubic feet went out, a net gain of 813 cubic feet. Records were admitted from twenty-three agencies, and twenty-four departments and agencies had records removed from the Records Center. Some of the records which were removed were sent to the Archives, some were microfilmed before being destroyed, and others were destroyed when they became obsolete under established schedules.^

^ For a list of records turnover at Record Center (in cubic feet), see Appendix XIX, p. 100. 32 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

Some schedules provide that records be "weeded" before they are destroyed to assure that records of historical or research value will be preserved. During the biennium records of nine agencies were weeded. As in other phases of the program, the amount of microfilming done for State agencies increased. The Rec- ords Center staff photographed 9,803,385 images for sixteen agencies. The four persons assigned to the microfilm project did most of the filming on rotary cameras, using 16mm film. In most cases a copy of the film was sent to the agency creating the records and a duplicate security copy was retained at the Records Center.'- The staff continued to service records for agencies asking for information from their files at the Records Center. Ten agencies requested service a total of 742 times. By far the greatest number of requests, 663, came from the Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles. Representatives of sixteen agencies came to the Records Center 1,250 times to use their own records. Physical improvements were made which have increased the efficiency of the Records Management Program. A shredding machine was purchased so that confidential materials could be completely obliterated before being sold. A major forward step was the purchase of the microfilming equipment. The Recordak RM machines, which had been rented for approximately a year, were purchased as second- hand machines in the summer of 1957. A new microfilm reader, with interchangeable lenses, was purchased in the spring of 1958. Other physical improvements included the purchase of new desks for the archivists and a coat of paint for the desks used by the microfilmers. The office space was painted. Concrete seal was applied to the floors in an effort to control the dust. There was no water available in the Records Center prior to the summer of 1956. A lavatory was installed at that time, and a rest room was completed in the summer of 1958. A hearing liefore the Commission on Reorganization of

State Government in May, 1958, enabled the Department to point out some of the needs of the Records Management Program. In touring the Records Center the Commission members not only learned what activities were included in the program but were able to see some of the problems which must be faced in the near future. One of the most acute problems is the need for additional space. As the biennium closed, plans were being made to convert from filing cabinets to shelving in one large room at the Records Center. It is estimated that the shelving- corrugated box combination throughout the stack areas will make possible the filing of nearly twice as many records as are now in the Records Center. The change-over is being planned with the co-operation of the Department of Ad- ministration. In looking toward the future, it seems inevitable that shelving will have to be installed throughout the Records Center in order to provide space for records already scheduled to come in. Though shelving will nearly double the capacity, either expansion into the entire building or a move to a larger building will ultimately be necessary in order to take care of the increasing volume of records. Many agencies which need help with records problems are not yet participating in the Records Management Pro- gram. These departments should take part in the program, and eventually branch offices of State agencies should be given assistance. Requests for this type of service have been turned down so far because of the tremendous amount of work to be done with State offices located in Raleigh and because of lack of staff". Consideration should also be given to expansion into all phases of records management. Concentration has been on inventorying and adoption of disposal schedules, microfilming, and the operation of the Records Center, but almost nothing has been done in the line of creation of records, in file and mail room procedures, and other such activities recognized as features of a complete Records Management Program. Whether or not expansion in this direction should l)e cariied out is a question still unanswered, but one which will need to be faced in future months. DIVISION OF HISTORIC SITES

William S. Tarlton, Historic Sites Superintendent

The basic purpose of the Historic Sites Program is the conservation and development of historic site properties for public use. This purpose is the same as that which under- lies Federal and State park programs, fish and wildlife protection, and most other conservation programs. Selected properties that have significant historical importance are acquired by purchase or donation and brought into the program. Then they are restored, protected, and improved for the educational and inspirational use—and for the sheer enjoyment—of the people of North Carolina and of visitors. In developing historic properties, full use is made of regular professional methods and scholarship, but the end achievement is designed for the general public, not just the professionals. Constant efforts are made to avoid narrowly antiquarian and specialized viewpoints that have little meaning, and are sometimes actually revolting, to the general run of intelligent people. Taking the authentic substance of historj' (insisting always on authenticity in

every matter of history) , we apply to it the lessons of public interest and need, as well as old fashioned showmanship, in an effort to create an effective means of introducing all the people of North Carolina to a consciousness and appreciation of their history. At the present time the Department's Historic Sites Program proper consists of eight properties. Six of these are administered directly by the Department through the Historic Sites Division. The other two projects, smaller in scope, are operated by local organizations under contract. In addition to these eight, there are six other projects, sponsored by local or special organizations, to which the Department has given advisory assistance and financial aid from funds appropriated for the purpose. Finally, there is the Tryon Palace Restoration, administered by the Tryon Palace Commission, which the Department assists in various ways, including the handling of fiscal accounts and budgetary matters. State Department of Archives and History 35

To summarize, through the Historic Sites Division the Department at the present time administers six projects and exercises a substantial interest in nine others—a total of fifteen projects. During the 1957-1959 biennium the Department has a budget, from state appropriations, of approximately $217,000 for the Historic Sites Program, excluding about $45,000 for Tryon Palace.

Selection Criteria: All properties acquired for development by the State, or to which grants in aid are made available by the State, should measure up to criteria adopted at the beginning to guide the entire program. Some of the most important of these are as follows:

(1) Historic properties should possess statewide or national historical significance, not merely local. This is the most important criterion of all and it usually rules in acquisitions. This requirement means that properties should be connected with important events, persons, or movements or typify important segments of North Carolina history, and that they should bear a significant relationship to other projects in the program. In acquisitions, preference is given in cases where original structures or other physical remains are present. (2) Properties should conform to reasonable requirements of financing, maintenance, and accessibility. Prefer- ence is given where local and private financial assistance is offered, and where accessibility and freedom from undesir- able encroachment (as by commercial and industrial development) are present. Properties should also have adequate boundaries for the protection of historical values against future encroachment. Application of these standards to site acquisitions has resulted in a state wide program of historic properties which is representative of the entire span of our history and which is distributed geographically. These projects are scattered over the entire State from the seashore to the mountains. They represent periods from early colonial history all the way down to the twentieth century. They represent aboriginal Indian, military, political, educational, 3(5 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

Phelps, also members of the staff, are not shown. village, and agricultural aspects of North Carolina history. Several of them, in addition, illustrate the importance of individual great men and events. A comprehensive state program has therefore been outlined. The chief need at present is to fill out this program by the proper development of the individual site projects. This calls especially for capital improvements—the restoration of historic structures and remains and the construction of museum buildings, dwelling houses for personnel in charge of the projects, access roads and parking lots, landscaping, and rest room and picnic facilities.

Progress in Developing the Site P}'()jects: (1) Bentonville Battleground State Historic Site, located near Smithfield, Johnston County. In 1957 a property of fifty-one acres, including the historic Harper House (Con- federate Hospital), the Confederate Cemetery, and lines of State Department of Archives and History 37

earthworks was acquired in the lar^e 6,000-acre battlefield. Since that time historical research and planning have been carried forward, repairs have been made to the Harper House and the outbuildings, and a temporary museum program has been established. Plans have also been made to mark the entire battlefield area and arrangements have been completed to keep the Harper House open on Sunday afternoons. Among the chief needs for the future are complete repair and restoration of the Harper House and outbuildings, improvement of the Confederate Cemetery, preparation for proper exhibit of historic battlefield earthworks, and the construction of a museum center and other facilities of public use. The Battle of Bentonville, fought in March, 1865, by Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston and Federal forces under General William T. Sherman, was the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on the soil of North Carolina and was a battle of important consequences in the last phase of the Civil War. A direct consequence of the failure of Johnston to stop the northward march of Sher- man's forces was the surrender in April, 1865, of Johnston's Confederate Army near the present city of Durham. The significance of this battle justifies development of the site as one of the major projects in the State's over-all program. All efi"orts will be made to complete the project before the centennial year, 1965. (2) Charles B. Aycock Birthplace Historic Site, located near Goldsboro in Wayne County. In 1958 additional land was acquired, bringing the total area of the project to ten acres. Four of the historic Aycock buildings, including the dwelling house, have been purchased and moved to their original site on the State-owned land and architectural plans and specifications have been prepared for their restoration.

During the next biennium it is expected that the restoration and landscaping will be completed, access roads and parking facilities provided, and a dwelling house constructed for the Historic Site Specialist in charge. Governor Aycock by common consent was one of the great governors of North Carolina. Plans are being made to erect a museum building to house special exhibits illu- r,8 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

The birthplace itself will be restored to the period of Aycock's birth, 1859, and will be made to reflect his family and childhood surround- ings. The museum is necessary as a means, apart from the birthplace restoration, to deal with the later career of this great North Carohnian. In other words, the over-all development will at the same time contrast and draw together early family background and later political career. It is appropriate that the restoration be completed in time to be formally opened on the one hundredth anniversary of his birth, November, 1959. Efforts are being made to meet this schedule.

(3) Brunswick Town State Historic Site, located on the lower Cape Fear River in Brunswick County. This area of 120 acres contains the site and the remains of the colonial town of Brunswick, a thriving river port in the middle eighteenth century, which was destroyed during and just following the Revolution. The town site proper comprises State Department of Archives and History fiO about thirty acres. In 1958 the site has been cleared of heavy undergrowth and an archeological survey completed. Now excavation of selected sites is underway, with results that are already spectacular. The plan of development for Brunswick Town envisions the excavation of large sample areas of the town, the exhibition of typical building foundations, streets, and water front sites, exhibition of the im- pressive ruins of colonial St. Philips Church and the colonial graveyard, and the development of a museum program which will exhibit many of the objects taken during excavation and adequately portray the whole history of the site. Brunswick Town is recognized as one of the richest sites for colonial archeology on the entire east coast of the United States. It is a major project in the over-all state program. (4) Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site, Montgomery County. This project of about fifty acres, cen- tering around the site of an early Muskogean Indian village, continues to be developed as an archeological research activity and as a large scale restoration of the Indian structures. The reconstruction is now about 50 per cent complete. The temple has been completed, a fortified under- ground entrance from the river has been restored, and several burial and other structures are at present under construction. The temporary museum has been improved and plans projected for a permanent museum building. A dwelling house for the Historic Site Specialist in charge is authorized for construction during the current biennium. Electrical service is being installed and the county road giving access to the project from North Carolina Highway 73 is being paved. (5) Alamance Battleground State Historic Site, located near Burlington, Alamance County. This property of about fifty acres contains the battlefield on which the Colonial Mihtia, commanded by Royal Governor WilHam Tryon, met and defeated the Regulators, May 16, 1771. Historical research on the battle is being continued preparatory to marking the field more extensively and establishing a museum program. A permanent museum has been authorized and $15,000 (nearly half the total cost) appropriated by the General Assembly, An equal sum has been raised locally :

40 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

from private donations. It is expected that the building will be erected next year. The finished project at Alamance

Battleground will feature two things : exhibit of the battlefield through extensive marking of sites and a museum program on the "War of the Regulation" and the battle which brought it to a close. (6) The Zebulon Baird Vance Birthplace State Historic Site, located near Asheville, Buncombe County. The Vance house and three acres of ground were acquired in 1957. An architect currently is drawing plans and specifications for the restoration. With the nearly $8,000 available from State appropriations and $16,000 from local sources, it is expected that the restoration will be completed within the near future. Following restoration and furnishing of the birthplace, it is planned that a museum building will be erected and a permanent museum program illustrating Governor Vance's public career established. It is also hoped that funds for operating the project, including salary for a Historic Site Specialist who will be in charge, will be made available.

The two State-owned projects administered locally under contract with the Department are the James Iredell House, located at Edenton, and the House in the Horseshoe (Alston

House) , located near Carthage, Moore County. The Iredell House has been partially restored and furnished by the James Iredell House Association and the House in the Horseshoe completely so by the Moore County Historical Association. Further restoration of the Iredell House is currently in process.

Co-opeiritiov : Projects which the Department has aided either finan- cially or technically, or both, are (1) Person's Ordinary, located at Littleton, Warren- Halifax counties. This colonial tavern is receiving $4,000 in aid and continuing advisory help. (2) Historic Halifax, Halifax County. This colonial village restoration project is receiving $6,000 in grants in aid and technical assistance. (3) Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, Catawba County. Re- ceiving $400 and advisory assistance this biennium. This State Department of Archives and History 41

is one of the three surviving- covered bridges iii North Caro- lina and the only one so far which is being preserved as a public exhibit. (4) Calvin Jones House, located at Wake Forest, Wake County. This early nineteenth century farmhouse is the building in v^hich Wake Forest College, now located at Winston-Salem, was opened in 1834. The project receives continuing advisory assistance from the Department. (5) Governor Richard Caswell Memorial, located at Kinston, Lenoir County. A special State Commission is planning a museum and site program at the grave of Gover- nor Caswell, the first governor of North Carolina after In- dependence. This project is receiving $25,000 and advisory assistance. (6) The James K. Polk Birthplace, near Charlotte, Meck- lenburg County. Local organizations are undertaking the reconstruction of the log house in which President Polk was born in 1795. The Department has $7,500 for the project and is g-iving technical and advisory assistance. (7) Tryon Palace, New Bern. The Department handles accounts and the budget and readers continuing advisory assistance on historical and operational matters.

Historical Highivay Marker P)-ogram:

Due to the fact that funds were not available to employ a full-time researcher, the Marker Program was not emphasized. No new markers were authorized. Twenty plaques previously authorized were erected, ' a number of replace- ments for markers broken or lost were ordered, and other routine maintenance was kept up. A temporary researcher in the summer of 1958 processed some sixty marker subjects which, it is expected, will be taken up by the advisory committee within the near future. Future Needs:

The compelling great need in the Historic Sites Program in the years immediately ahead is for better financing, particularly for capital improvements. This need will not be met until it is generally realized that the program is not

^ For a list of new highway historical markers erected, see Appendix XX, p. 101. 42 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report an office program, but rather a field program of large and widespread dimensions, consisting of real estate which needs to be developed for large-scale public use. Public use of historic areas, as for any other type of public parks, requires physical facilities of various types for the reception and proper handling of the public. As yet some of the historic projects do not have such basic facilities as drinking water and rest rooms of any sort. Two as yet have no sort of parking space or convenient access. Only one of the six projects in the basic program has funds for the necessary dwelling house for the Historic Site Specialist in charge. All six must have well-rounded physical development before they can be utilized by the public to the extent that the investments already made will pay a return in educational benefits and in tourist dollars. Yet the tourist potential which may be tapped is tremendous. Capital improvement needs for the immediate future total $379,000. This comparatively small sum will provide five major buildings (reception center-museums), five dwelling houses which will be self-liquidating, and other necessary facilities that will bring six of North Carolina's major historic areas to full public usefulness.

If this single major need is met, it is felt that North Carolina's Historic Sites Program will emerge in the few years ahead as one of the best in the entire country from the standpoint of selectivity, scope, geographical distribution, and general appeal. The basic program as already established has that potential. DIVISION OF MUSEUMS

Mrs. Joye E. Jordan, Museum Administrator

In presenting an account of the work of the Division of Museums for the biennium just completed, the Division is inviting a close examination of its activities and accomplishments. Nov^' as never before, history is salable. It is the responsibility of the State history museum to take advantage of this upsurge of interest where and when it presents an opportunity to further the knowledge and appreciation of North Carolina history. This report will note improvement in a majority of the phases of the work. Regrettably, other phases have had to come to a standstill with little or no progress made. The staff will welcome suggestions which will aid in its effort to serve the citizens of the State whether by more effective exhibits, more extensive publications, closer work with allied organizations, more detailed instruction for school groups, or any other facet of the museum's responsibility. Exhibits One sign that a new concept of the function of a history museum is coming into being is the more modern display of historical items. The history museum that is striving to serve its community sees to it that each exhibit contributes not only to the knowledge of the subject it is illustrating but to the artistic and aesthetic sense of the viewer as well. Oftentimes one object well displayed attracts more attention than an entire collection. This means that a great deal of research and planning must go into each individual display since the smaller the number of items used, the more carefully each must be presented. Handicapped as the museum has been with very limited funds for improving exhibits, some progress can be recorded in the modernization of the methods employed. A distinction is made between permanent and temporary or special exhibits. An exhibit on display for not more than a year is classified as special. Anything over a year is classified as permanent. The special exhibits seldom remain on 44 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

display for more than a Tew months, while some few of the permanent exhibits are retained for a number of years, usually with renovations and changes being made from time to time.

Permanent Exhibits:

An early school room exhibit containing desks, books, benches, a stove, inkwells, and other school room items was prepared in co-operation with the Social Studies Section of the North Carolina Education Association as a part of their 100th anniversary celebration. A case exhibit entitled Roanoke Island History serves as a memorial to Alexander Mathis, author of The Lost Cita- del, a book with a Roanoke Island setting. Two cases on colonial history, one titled "Religion" and

the other "Childhood," were added to the Colonial and Revolutionary Room. The Allen Kitchen has been cleaned, renovated, repaired, landscaped, and planted. A Junior League volunteer completed the curtains for the kitchen. An exhibit on "Moravian Crafts," displaying articles used in the Wachovia settlement in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, was placed on display commemorating the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Moravian Church. A complete renovation, including new models of a surrey and a buggy and new backgrounds for all of the dioramas, was made in the Olds Memorial Gallery. Special Exhibits:

Six exhibits, varying widely in content, have occupied this space during the past biennium. At the beginning of the biennium, portraits of doctors and dentists who pioneered in the health program of the State were placed in this gallery. This was followed by an exhibit of work done by the Junior Historian Club of Jose- phus Daniels Junior High School in connection with a program on legends and folklore of North Carolina which they held in the Assembly Room.

When this exhibit was removed, it was replaced by a display of the print winners of the Southern Short Course in Press Photography, sponsored by the Carolina Press Photographers Association. After three weeks, this in turn was replaced by an exhibit titled "Know Your Historic Sites" which showed photographs and gave some background information on many of the buildings and battle- grounds that are now being preserved by the State or allied organizations. Items completed by the Hall of History Craft Class were on display for several months. At present the gallery contains an exhibit of materials depicting the life of R. Gregg Cherry. This material was selected from the private collection of Cherry papers which was placed with the Department. With minor changes, the museum was able to utilize one background for three exhibits on gowns. First, "The Hall of History's Collection of Gowns worn by North Carolina's First Ladies" was formally opened as a part of the In- augural Ceremonies of Governor Luther H. Hodges, Feb- ruary 6, 1957. Presented next was "The Hall of History's Collection of Wedding Dresses." This was followed by "Spring Fashions Through the Ages." Each year an old-fashioned Christmas exhibit with a tree, toys, Christmas stockings, and a family scene is placed in the Blount Room. State Department of Archives and History 47

Accessions: ^ A special effort was made during the biennium to collect gowns which were worn by the wives of North Carolina's governors. This collection now numbers fourteen gowns, most of which were the First Ladies' Inaugural Ball gowns. Several items which had belonged to Governor and Mrs. W. W. Holden were placed with the Department. These include china, glassware, and wearing apparel. Other accessions of note were items from the collections of R. Gregg Cherry and of Thurmond Chatham, four North Carolina rifles, an early Columbia bicycle, a camera collection which was started during the biennium, and several large collections of costumes, household items, and toys.

Education

The Division of Museums has four distinct phases to its education program : school visitation, school extension, museum classes, and the Junior Historian program. A brief resume of each may give a clear over-all picture of what has been done and some of the problems that had to be met during the biennium.

- School Visitatio)i : The statistics for school visitation are in themselves so overwhelming that little more need be said. For the school year 1956-1957, the total number of registered groups was 899; the total number of students was 37,808. For 1957- 1958, the total number of groups was 761, and the total number of students was 33,639, making a grand total of 71,447 for the biennium. "Registered groups" means that this total number of students was given some sort of program or instruction when they came to the museum. There are always a number of groups which come and simply "go through," to quote their teachers. Legislative years always mean that we have students coming in larger numbers than in the second year of the biennium as these figures show. April is the peak month. For April, 1957, 314 groups total-

48 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Refout ing 13,045 students visited, and for April, 1958, it was 827 groups with a total of 15,604 students. There is no set number in a school group. They run anywhere from 20 to 250—currently averaging 48 each. These figures indicate why it is essential during the spring months that all museum activities except the ones that simply m.ust be kept current come to a standstill in order that the entire staff may devote its time to school groups. Mimeographed guides and workbooks which present background information for the period or subject of each gallery were prepared and distributed for the use of school children.

School Extension: Even though from the museum point of view school visitation is quite heavy, on a percentage basis only a small fraction of the students in North Carolina have the privilege of visiting the m.useum in Raleigh. The school extension program is planned to make a start at meeting the need of this vast number of students who cannot come to the museum by having the information go out to them. The program for the past two years included The preparation of a traveling exhibit on the subject of North Carolina Indians. Talks to school groups by members of the staff. A North Carolina history lesson based on material in the Hall of History correlated to the United States History school series being presented by Miss Lois Ettinger over WUNC-TV, May 12, 1958. A kinescope recording was made of the program so that it can be made available to other groups. Slide programs and accompanying scripts were scheduled and mailed to teachers and organizations throughout the

State. The programs included the following subjects : Early

Architecture of North Carolina ; The Cherokee Indians,

Their Myths and Legends ; Fort Macon ; Historic Sites of North Carolina; Ladies' P'ashions from 1790 to the Present;

"The Lost Colony" ; Moravian Settlements in North Caro- lina; North Carolina Pottery and Wedgwood China; ;

State Department of Archives and History 4

Raleigh, the Capital City ; Tar Heel Mysteries and Legends and "Unto These Hills."

Museum Classes:

The Craft Class which is conducted for eighth grade students interested in early crafts practiced in North Caro- lina met weekly from October through May for the school year 1956-1957. The two-hour class is instructed by the Exhibits Curator. Students devote their time to the study of early design in pottery, weaving, quilt making, and folk art. Examples of their work were placed on display at the close of the course. The Division of Museums participated in the program offered to history majors from Meredith College. During the year 1957-1958, five students completed the 150 hours of work required for the course in museum practices.

The Tarheel Junior Historian Prog)-ain:

The Tarheel Junior Historian Association will be handicapped until a full-time staff member can be provided to conduct the program. During this biennium, the work was carried on rather ineffectively with the time that could be spared from three other positions, namely the Museum Ad- ministrator, the Education Curator, and the Stenographer- Clerk. While the work done by individual clubs was improved, unfortunately many clubs fell by the wayside from lack of attention so that for the year 1956-1957 the Associa- tion had only thirty clubs. Instead of an increase, the year 1957-1958 showed the loss of still another club so that the biennium closed with only twenty-nine clubs with a total membership of 1,261. With adequate supervision the As- sociation should have at least seven or eight hundred clubs within the State. Photography Photographs and negatives from the museum's collection are used extensively throughout the State. Writers, pub- lishers, newspapermen, T. V. program directors, and even other photographers make frequent demands for items depicting earlier times. Prints are furnished to illustrate a number of the Department's publications as well as for use 50 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report in exhibits both in the Hall of History and for other museums throughout the State. The E. L. M. film which supple- ments the North Carolina eighth-grade history text was completed. Some four or five hundred photographs from the collection were used for this purpose. One new slide program, ''Raleigh, the Capital City," has been added to the kodachrome slide series used as a part of the museum's extension service. Slides have been prepared for another program, "Early Quilt Patterns." The photographing of the Tryon Palace collection of furnishings is well under way. Each item is photographed as a part of the accession file. Proof that it was essential to employ a full-time photographer for the Department is evident in the increases shown for both negatives and prints. In 1956-1957 with a staff member devoting such time as could be spared to the work, seventy-five negatives and 678 prints were made. During 1957-1958, the photographer made 1,348 negatives and 3.226 glossy prints.

Co-operation with Other Organizations As employees of the State government, the staff of the Museums Division is called upon to serve in many capacities other than just within the four walls cf the museum. The requests come from local museums, celebration committees, professional groups, patriotic organizations, and people in the public relations field. Added to this are the many requests from other State agencies. In reporting on this phase of the work, only the more time-consuming projects will be mentioned. Other Museums: The Hall of History staff has served in an advisory capacity at one time or another to most of the museums dealing with history in the State. During this biennium, more tim.e has been devoted to Tryon Palace and the Andrew Johnson Birthplace than to any of the others. The Andrew Johnson Birthplace has been completely renovated in the past two years under the direction of the Museum Administrator as Chairman of the Andrew Johnson Me- State Department of Archives and History 51 morial Commission of the City of Raleigh. The major part of the building and furnishing of Tryon Palace has been completed in the same length of time. On this project the work has been in the area of museum techniques : accession- ing and cataloging of artifacts and furnishings, photographing furnishings, and advising on museum problems in general. Other museums which have requested and received information and assistance are The Rowan Museum, Greensboro Children's Museum, Greensboro Historical Mu- seum, New Bern Fireman's Museum, Orange County His- torical Museum, and the House in the Horseshoe.

Celeb}-atio}is: Each year several North Carolina counties and municipalities conduct celebrations to commemorate events significant in their history. In many cases the Department assists the local committee in making plans for the celebration. During the past year the staff worked with the Greensboro Sesquicentennial Celebration, which was held May 2-10, 1958, and at present is w-orking with the Andrew Johnson Day Committee for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Andrew Johnson.

Professional Orgunizations: Members of the staff attended the Southeastern Museums

Conference meetings held during the biennium : 1956, Wil- liamsburg, Virginia, and 1957, Gainesville, Florida. The Museum Administrator continues to serve as Secretary- Treasurer of the organization. The session, "Historic Housekeeping," held at Coopers- town, New York, September 23-29. 1956, was attended by a member of the museum staff and the Museum Administrator, who had been invited as a member of the faculty. Staff members attended the American Association of Museums meeting held in Lincoln, Nebraska, in May, 1957, and in Charleston, South Carolina, in April, 1958. The Museum Administrator served on the program of the Fourth Museum Educators' Conference. Jacksonville, Florida, December 5-9, 1956, and the Fifth Annual Social 52 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

Studies Conference, January 24-25, 1958, at Duke Uni- versity.

Radio, TV, Publications: Participation in this area of the work by members of the museum staff includes the following: The Museum Administrator is Chairman of the Fine Arts

Programming Council for WRAL-TV ; the Division participated in the Department's program for the ''Affairs of State" series on WUNC-TV; the Museum Administrator was a guest on the Peggy Mann Show on WTVD ; several members of the staff appeared on the Harriet Pressly show on WPTF radio; the Museum Administrator and the Ed- ucation Curator wrote two articles, "The Hall of History" and "The Andrew Johnson Birthplace," for North Carolina Education.

Receptions and Other Special Events: A number of receptions and fashion shows were held in connection with exhibition openings and commemorations.

A list of these functions includes : a reception for the Sir Walter Cabinet; a fashion show for the Auxiliary of the North Carolina Engineers' Society; a movie titled "The Battle of Gettysburg" for the Johnston-Pettigrew Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy ; a fashion show and a tour of the Birthplace of Andrew Johnson for the North Carolina State convention of the Daughters of the

American Revolution ; and programs for book clubs, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Children of the Confederacy, and the Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century. Chief Needs

The main purpose of the Museums Division is to advance the cause of history throughout the State. As a State museum, emphasis is laid on presenting knowledge on the military, political, social, economic, and other facets of the life of the people who made North Carolina history. This is the day of long-range planning in many fields, yet it is still true that any objective that will arouse the :

State Department of Archives and History 53 loudest hue and cr\' is serxed first in our State g-overnnieiii. For the Museums Division the hue and cry could be raised justifiably for a number of goals, but among the major needs are

1. Economic Exhibits. The Hall of History has done less in presenting the economic history of the State than in any of the other areas. Military history would probably rank first, social second, and political third with very little attention being given to the history of industry or agriculture. Exhibits should be prepared on four or five of the leading industries such as cotton, tobacco, furniture, and fishing, if no others.

2. Rotating exhibits. Since space is limited in the Hall of History, an over-all plan and schedule for the rotation of the exhibits would mean that more items from the museum's collection could be displayed from time to time. Even though this policy is in effect to a certain extent, there is always the tendency to keep the more important items on display at all times, to the exclusion of many others. 3. The Junior Historian Program. As a part of the extension service of the museum, the Junior Historian program needs to be expanded. Last April over 13,000 eighth graders visited the Hall of History, indicating that they had some interest in their local history. Of this number, not more than 1,300 were members of the Tarheel Junior His- torian Association. By extending the work of the Junior Historians, it would be possible to provide some guidance and supervision of the study of local history to the thousands of students who are not reached at present. DIVISION OF PUBLICATIONS

D. L. Corbitt, Editor

In 1956, when the Department changed its policy of distributing its publications and at the same time raised the subscription price to The North Carolina Historical Review from $2.00 to $3.00 per year and advanced the price for its documentary volumes from $1.00 to $3.00 per volume, it was thought that there would be changes in the quantity of publications distributed. Prior to the time it changed its policy, the Department did not mail pamphlets, leaflets, charts, and maps to school children. With the new policy, whereby school children can purchase any or all items, the distribution has increased in volume. The Department, during the biennium, made available to students of the public schools a list of approximately fourteen items, some of which were free and some available for a nominal fee. All of the items individually totaled $1.75 but for $1.00 a kit containing one copy of each was available to those who would apply for it. The postage on these kits averaged more than thirty cents per kit. The Department was, therefore, distributing such materials at less than seventy five cents below the regular price if the items were sold separately. By this policy the Department is able to serve better the schools and at the same time obtain a wider distribution. The Department is constantly preparing new materials for publication, always keeping in mind that the law makes it obligatory to publish and to distribute materials pertaining to the history of the State. The Department en- deavors to serve scholars and laymen, teachers and students—all persons in the State. The State Textbook Commission has placed another volume issued by this Department on its recommended reading list. The two previous volumes which are continued on the list are The Carolina Charter of 1663 and Explora- tions, Descriptions, and Attempted Settleynents of Carolina, 158A-1590. During this biennium The Governors of North Carolina, 1585-1958: Brief Sketches was placed on this list. State Department of Archives and History 55

This is another instance where the Department is working for the interest of the elementary and high schools. The Department publishes documentary volumes, pamphlets, leaflets, maps, charts. The North Carolina Historical Review and Caroliyia Comments. A total of 406 items, either originals or reprints, have been issued since the establishment of the agency in 1903.

During the two-year period a total of 25,750 volumes, leaflets, charts, and pamphlets were mailed. ^ The Depart- ment has always served scholars and teachers of North Carolina history, but recently more emphasis has been placed on the public schools with the result that many students are making use of its services. Public and school libraries, college and university libraries, and the general public have continued to receive the services of the Depart- ment.

56 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report

The Division received a sum of ^n,T.\\)—an increase of 41 per cent—of which $5,592 w^as for membership dues in the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association— decrease of 1 per cent. The remaining $12,147 represented an increase of 42 per cent for the State. This sum was collected for subscriptions to The North Carolina Historical Review and the Department's other publications. For the past several years the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association has had a Committee on Local Historical Societies. The Editor of the Division has served as chairman of the committee and during the biennium he has assisted in organizing groups in the following counties Chatham, Davidson, Harnett, Martin, Perquimans, and Wake. During the years he has served as chairman, groups have been organized in thirty-four counties. Some of the groups are now inactive. The number of subscribers - to The North Carolina His-

torical Revietv has decreased, " but at the same time there has been a definite increase in the distribution of other publications. The number of books, pamphlets, maps, and charts distributed shows an increase of more than 7,000 copies. Also the amount of mail has increased. During the two-year period 87,130 items of mail were placed in the post office—an average cf 3,630 items each month. This was an increase of 20 per cent for the biennium. Thus it is evident that the services of the Division are reaching more people than formerly.

Publications

A total of forty-one items was published—volumes, eight numbers of The Noiih Carolina Historical Review, twelve issues of Carolina Coiumefits, pamphlets, and leaflets.

$11,777, an average of $1,472 per issue. Paid-up subscriptions, either new or renewal, totaling 2,464 were received, averaging 102 per month. Subscribers are located in twenty- five states, the District of Columbia, and two foreign countries. The publication is mailed on exchange to institutions and organizations in thirty-three States, the District of Columbia, and three foreign countries. Forty-two articles (one of which was in two parts) and six documents or collections of letters (one of which was in two parts) were published in The Review. Twenty-eight articles were on North Carolina subjects, ' five were on the South and related subjects, and nine were on biography. All six of the documentary sections dealt with North Carolina or North Carolinians. ' Thirty of the authors were North Carolinians and eighteen were from outside the State. There were 141 books reviewed in The Review: twenty- nine on North Carolina history; nine on North Carolina biography ; fifty-six on the history of other States and the South ; twenty-seven on general biography ; and twenty on general subjects. These books were reviewed by forty-four resident North Carolinians and forty-one by scholars outside the State.

Carolina Comments:

This four-page news sheet, which was begun in May, 1952, continued to be issued every two months. Each issue is usually illustrated and 2,500 copies" of each issue are published. It is mailed free to subscribers to The North Carolina Historical Review, members of the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association, to public, college and university, and public school libraries in the State, and to some of the larger libraries and archival agencies throughout the United States.

Uistorind Ucvtcir, and this niaKazine has been published regularly since that date. It carries material pertaining to the State's history, documents, book reviews, and historical news.

All members of the Association are subscribers to The Review at a reduced rate. In the beginning the dues in the Association were $1.00 per year and a subscription to The Review was $2.00 per year, but members of the Association received a membership in the Association and a year's subscription to The Review for $2.00. All dues for both were divided equally between the Association and the De- partment. During the intervening years several changes were made in the dues of the Association, but no change was made in the subscription rate to The Review until January, 1956, when the subscription price was advanced from $2.00 to $3.00 per year. At the same time the dues in the Association were advanced to $5.00 per year—which included a year's subscription. The dues in the Association are divided equally. The North Carolina Literary and His- torical Association receives $2.50 and the Department $2.50. During the biennium the average mailing of The North Carolina Historical Review was 1,314 copies while during the previous biennium the average was 1,453 copies per issue. This was a 10 per cent decrease from the last biennium. During the biennium 1952-1954 the average number mailed was 1,121 per issue. Thus this biennium the mailing showed an increase of 14 per cent over the period 1952- 1954.

FUTURE PUBLICATIONS

When the Department, in 1908, began to publish documentary volumes it was able to pay a nominal fee to editors who prepared materials for publication and to see the volumes through the press. During the depression years this phase of its work was curtailed for lack of funds. It is unrealistic to expect scholars to edit documentary material for the Department without some compensation for their labors and for traveling expenses in order for them to visit im- State Department ok Archives and History G1

portant archives and research centers where they may have access to relevant research materials. The fact that the Department is not able to pay for such services makes

it difficult to interest competent scholars because these people must earn a living for their families. There is much more involved than merely locating materials. All the documents, letters, and reports must be copied and the copies thoroughly checked before the editor really begins his research for documenting his material. He must visit research centers and large libraries. Thus much travel is necessary. The Department should assist interested editors by procuring copies of materials and paying a small portion of the personal expenses involved in such work. The Department has in hand edited materials for several documentary volumes as soon as funds are available. The funds now available are just barely enough to publish one volume annually, and there are no prospects that additional funds will be provided in the near future.

Zebulon B. Vance Papers:

The first volume of this series of some six or seven volumes has been in page proof for eighteen months except the front matter. Dr. Frontis W. Johnston, Head of the History Department at Davidson College, is editing the material and has been unable to reduce the biographical material to a proper proportion. The material in this series covers an interesting period in North Carolina history. \"ance was Congressman, three times governor of the State, and United States Senator. 1879-1894. He served as gover- nor during the Civil War period, and was one of the most popular public otticials in all North Carolina history. The Department expects to issue the volumes just as soon as Dr. Johnston can complete his editorial work and funds become available.

Blount Papers: During the biennium, 1952-1954, volume one of this series became available for distribution. Dr. Alice B. Keith of Meredith College is editing the series and during this biennium volume two was placed in the hands of the printer, 62 Twenty-Seventh Biennial Report and is now in galley proof. It is planned that volume three will be published as soon as Dr. Keith can complete her editorial work and funds are provided. This material is from the family papers of John Gray, Thomas, and William Blount and other members of the Blount family during the late colonial, revolutionary, and early national periods.

William A. Graham Papers: Volume one of this series that will total approximately six volumes was issued. Volume two will be sent to the printer as soon as funds are provided. William A. Graham was Governor of the State, United States Senator, Secretary of the Navy, Confederate States Senator, and vice presidential nominee on the Whig ticket with General Winfield Scott in 1852. Dr. J. G. de Roulhac Hamilton of Chapel Hill, who has edited three other series for the Department, is editor of this series.

Thomas Jordau Jarvis Papers: The Department has secured the services of Dr. W. B. Yearns of Wake Forest College to edit these papers. Dr. Yearns has begun work on this material, but as yet he does not know how many volumes will be necessary to complete the work. Thomas J. Jarvis was a Confederate soldier, Lieutenant Governor, Governor, United States Sena- tor, and Minister to Brazil. Jarvis was interested in internal improvements and particularly in railroad development and educational progress.

Robert B. Glenn Papers: Dr. Joseph R. Steelman of East Carolina College has agreed to edit the Robert B. Glenn Papers. This will probably consist of one volume. Glenn represented Forsyth County in the State senate in 1899 and was governor, 1905- 1909, following the administration of Charles B. Aycock, the educational governor.

The Willie Person Mangum Papers: During the last several years the Department published five volumes of the Mangum Papers and it was thought State Department of Archives and History 63 that Volume V concluded the series. Last year the Library of Congress acquired additional Mangum letters, and Dr. Henry T. Shanks, editor, now believes that there will be two or three more volumes. He expects to begin work on this additional material during the fall and the Department will be interested in publishing it as soon as Dr. Shanks can complete it and the money becomes available.

Pamphlets:

At the end of the biennium several pamphlets were in the process of preparation. Secretaries of the Navy, Brief Sketches of Five North Carolinians was ready for the printer. This pamphlet will be approximately twenty pages and will be illustrated. A North Carolina Historical Calendar —a pamphlet designed to give brief and specific information on North Carolina history—is in preparation but is not yet completed. Mr. Hugh F. Rankin is preparing a pamphlet on North Carolina in the Revolution, Dr. John G. Barrett one on North Carolina in the Civil War, and Dr. William S. Hoffman still another on North Carolina in the Mexican War. A pamphlet, largely made up of pictures, dealing with the Civil War period, is nearly ready for the printer. A pamphlet on the Governor's Mansion is also being written. The pamphlet program is designed primarily for the public schools and the program will be expanded in the future.

Publications for School Children: During the past few years the Department has shifted the emphasis of its publication program in the direction of providing the students of our public schools with more materials on the State's history. There is a particular need for this, for these students of today should be instructed in their background and heritage so that they will make better citizens and civic leaders of tomorrow. This shift in program has been made without neglecting the needs of the research scholar, the librarian, the school teacher, and the adult layman.
