 The North Carolina Highway Historical
Marker Web Project is an initiative of the Research Branch of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History
(NCOAH) in collaboration with the Information Technology Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources (NCDCR) and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). It is the culmination of
three years of effort by staff historians, information technology specialists, students, and interns.
The project builds upon over seventy years of work by staff members of what is today the NCOAH, among them
Christopher Crittenden, Marybelle Delamar, William S. Powell, Edwin A. Miles, William S. Tarlton,
Elizabeth Wilborn, and Jerry C. Cashion.
The objective is to share with internet users details heretofore available
only upon examination of files in Raleigh. The site permits web users to search the database,
create GIS maps, view photos, and read essays on eighty percent of the 1,525 markers.
Additional essays and photographs will be posted regularly as the project progresses.
