Finding aids are narrative descriptions of archival materials and often provide more detailed information about individual collections than can be found in the online catalog, including box and folder lists. The finding aids for State Archives are organized by type of materials; the Outer Banks History Center and Western Regional Archives finding aids are listed separately.
Many of these finding aids are also available in the Discover Online Catalog.
