First published in 1983, The Way We Lived in North Carolina has been re-released by the North Carolina Office of Archives and History and the University of North Carolina Press. This website is a companion to the book and is intended to complement it and to extend its audience. Through research and interpretation of the historic sites in North Carolina and the people who lived near them, the authors are able to present a history of this state from pre-colonial times to the present.
The website is divided into chapters which highlight the historical eras of the Native Americans and colonists, the years of Independence, the antebellum period, industrialization, and the twentieth century. A Map Gallery has both historical maps and modern maps. The Image Gallery has drawings, paintings, and photographs to illustrate the five time periods. There is also a section that provides links to each of the North Carolina historic sites.
