North Carolina and the Two World Wars
Sarah McCulloh Lemmon and Nancy Smith Midgette
“North Carolina and the Two World Wars returns to print in a single volume two of the most popular titles published by the Historical Publications Section of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. Based on extensive research in the State Archives, Dr. Sarah McCulloh Lemmon’s North Carolina’s Role in the First World War (1966) and North Carolina’s Role in World War II (1964) provided an introduction to the Tar Heel experience in these two pivotal events in the twentieth century. For this new work Dr. Nancy Smith Midgette of Elon University extensively updated and expanded Dr. Lemmon’s texts. She also researched and wrote a new chapter that discusses the interwar period between 1918 and 1941. The result is a concise, yet compelling, one-volume work surveying the events over four decades that boldly brought North Carolina into the Modern Era.”

The State Library has announced its new online index to the Raleigh News & Observer, containing an alphabetical list of names and subjects with references to the newspaper articles in which they occur. It is not a database of full-text articles; rather, it’s a guide to help find articles with more information about a particular topic.
For many decades, librarians from the State Library reviewed the Raleigh News and Observer (N&O) newspaper and recorded important statewide topics and personal names from articles and selected obituaries on index cards, and later on early PCs. Now, nearly 100 years later, the N&O Index for 1926-1992 is available online for the public to search and browse.
The full-text articles themselves are available on microfilm at the Government and Heritage Library, 109 East Jones Street - right next door to the Legislative Building.
Read more about the N&O Index here. Search or browse topics and personal names to find article citations here.
