NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL
COMMISSION cANvASsING
STATE FOR MATERIAL.
HOUSE CONDUCTING CAMPAIGN
General Assembly Appropriated Mon
ey for Collection and Preservation
OF These Invaluable Records.


The North Carolina Historical Com
mission is canyassing the entire state
for letters diaries, pictures, newspa
per clippings in fact, all materials Of
any nature that throw light on North
Carolina in the World War r. B.
House Collector of var Records for
the Historical Commission is con-
Quoting this canvass by going TO the
sources OF such official records as
Red Cross Chapter Histories, Local
Board reports. etc. by organizing
volunteer committees to assist him in
the various counties, and by going
himself from community to commun
ity all over the state.
These materials canyassed for
valuable as they are, will perish very
rapidly unless they are stored where
fire. rats and other destroying agen'
cies cannot get al them. Practically
the only safe depository for such
things is the tireproof Hall Of History
in Raleigh.
Realizing the necessity Of preserv'
ing these valuable records, the last
general assembly appropriated money
for the work and directed the histori-
cal commission not only to collect all
data possible about North Carolina in
the World War but to prepare a com
plete histol. of the states life in that
great event.
