About us

The State Library of North Carolina was founded in 1812 and is the principal library of North Carolina state government. It serves to build the capacity of all libraries in North Carolina, and develops and supports access to traditional and online collections such as genealogy, North Carolina culture and heritage, and resources for the blind and physically handicapped.

Within the State Library, the Government and Heritage Library (GHL) collects, preserves, and provides long-term public access to North Carolina state government publications and other materials documenting the state's cultural heritage.

Who edits here?

We feel that our library's mission aligns with that of the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikipedia.

We welcome suggests and responses to the work we have done, and we will modify our practices in response to problems cited by others or if we discover our edits are in conflict with Wikimedia guidelines or etiquette. We welcome other editors to contact us via our talk page!
