How access works
Every result links to the institution that describes, holds, or provides the item. Some materials can be viewed online; others may be available from a library, through interlibrary loan, or by contacting the holding archive.
- ✓ At OCPL: Opens the item in the OCPL catalog. Check the catalog for current availability.
- Library badge: Opens the item’s record in the named library’s catalog.

- View at the source repository: Opens a digitized primary source at DigitalNC, the North Carolina Digital Collections, or a university digital collection.
- Library of Congress: Opens the record in the national catalog; LC copies are consulted on site, so look for the same title at a library nearer you.

- State Archives of NC: Opens the collection’s finding aid, or the Archives’ catalog listing for a series; the materials are consulted in the Raleigh search room.
