About the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association

On September 18, 1900, a group of men met in Raleigh to

establish an organization to encourage literary and historical

activity in North Carolina. The North Carolina Literary and

Historical Association was founded and its purposes were

“to stimulate the production of literature in our state,” and

“to collect and preserve historical material.” The Literary

and Historical Association facilitated the founding of the

agency that would later become the Office of Archives and

History. Illustrious North Carolinians have led the organization

through the years, including Justice Walter Clark;

R.D.W. Connor, first archivist of the United States; and

authors Paul Green and Inglis Fletcher.

About the Federation of North Carolina Historical Societies

In 1975 the Federation of North Carolina Historical Societies

was formed to assist historical organizations in promoting

and preserving local history. Any group dedicated to pursuing

historical activities is encouraged to join. Federation members

receive a quarterly bulletin containing information of interest.

They are also notified about workshops that may assist in

their work. The Federation operates a no-interest loan program

to assist in publishing historical materials or conducting

special programs.
