Title A name given to the resource Family Bibles Project Subject The topic of the resource Family Bibles Description An account of the resource The following Family Bibles collection began as a project with the New Bern-Craven County Public Library and the Craven County Genealogical Society of North Carolina. In October 2002 and October 2003, both organizations held a Family Bible Photocopying project and asked people to bring their Family Bibles to be copied. A copy was made for the Library and another copy for the owner of the Bible. These two projects brought over thirty Family Bibles, photocopies of which were added to the Library's collection. Since 2003, other Family Bibles have surfaced and were copied by Library Staff members for inclusion in the Bible Records Project. If you have a Family Bible of a Craven County family or a family from a surrounding county that you would like to include in the Project, contact the Kellenberger Room of the New Bern-Craven County Public Library to make an appointment. The phone number is (252) 638-7808 or e-mail KellenbergerRoom(at)gmail.com. We would love to add your family's information to the site.

Title A name given to the resource Tryon Palace Maps, Plans, and Surveys Subject The topic of the resource North Carolina--Maps Description An account of the resource From the first sightings of land in the West Indies through the end of the eighteenth century, there was a constant demand for maps of the newfound lands on the western Atlantic. Until the early decades of the nineteenth century, most maps were the products of English and Continental (Dutch, German and French) cartographers and engravers, who often based their maps on explorer’s reports and mariner’s charts. Beyond their use for navigation, commerce and military affairs, maps had other functions. They recorded the progress of the European settlement of North America. They documented the borders between the colonies. And they provided a relatively inexpensive means of household decoration. <br /><br />Newspaper advertisements for the colonial period indicate that maps were available in single sheets or bound in atlases or occasionally in magazines. Before the eighteenth century, private ownership of maps and charts implied a learned and accomplished status that was usually limited to men of wealth and power involved in trade, government or education. After 1700, there was greater economic diversity in map ownership. Maps can be found in the inventories and personal papers of colonial American mariners, millwrights, tradesmen, merchants, plantation owners, clergy, government officials, military officers and tradesmen. <br /><br />The map collection at Tryon Palace Historic Sites &amp; Gardens focuses on printed maps of the new world, with a special emphasis on maps depicting the Carolinas from the period of discovery to the Revolutionary War. This group includes examples of the work of some of the most important British and Continental cartographers and engravers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. There are maps by William Janszoon Blaeu and Nicolas Sanson of Amsterdam, Jean Baptiste Homann of Nuremberg, and John Senex, Herman Moll, J. or T. Hinton, Thomas Jefferys, John Collet, Thomas Kitchin and Henry Mouzon of London. A second, smaller group of maps records changes in county boundaries in the State of North Carolina from the late eighteenth century to the Civil War. The collection also contains a number of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century surveys and topographical maps of New Bern and Craven County. <br /><br />Catalog entries include both a short title reference and the full title including any dedication. Size is given in inches for paper, plate and image (measured from the outer edge of the neat line); measurements are always taken along the left edge and bottom of the print. Insets are treated in the same manner as the primary image. Significant features are noted in the description. Biographical information on the cartographer or engraver is included when possible.

Title A name given to the resource North Carolina Paper Currency Subject The topic of the resource Money--North Carolina--Specimens Paper money--North Carolina--Specimens Description An account of the resource <p style="font-weight:400;">During the Colonial Period, the scarcity of specie (coin) in<span> </span>North Carolina constituted a major problem. Settlers arrived with little hard currency and the limited trade of the province brought in inadequate amounts of coin. Since little or no gold, silver or copper (the raw materials for coins) was mined in the colony, the chief form of exchange for most of the Colonial Period was the barter of commodities—tobacco, corn, wheat, tallow, skins, pitch, whale oil, pork and beef, etc</p> <p style="font-weight:400;">Paper currency was treated with some suspicion. During the Colonial Period, it was frequently issued to finance or pay off debts incurred by military expeditions. The 1748 issue, for example, paid for constructing forts at<span> </span>Cape<span> </span>Fear<span> </span>and Ocracoke for protection of the coastal area from Spanish attacks.

Title A name given to the resource North Carolina Paper Currency Subject The topic of the resource Money--North Carolina--Specimens Paper money--North Carolina--Specimens Description An account of the resource <p style="font-weight:400;">During the Colonial Period, the scarcity of specie (coin) in<span> </span>North Carolina constituted a major problem. Settlers arrived with little hard currency and the limited trade of the province brought in inadequate amounts of coin. Since little or no gold, silver or copper (the raw materials for coins) was mined in the colony, the chief form of exchange for most of the Colonial Period was the barter of commodities—tobacco, corn, wheat, tallow, skins, pitch, whale oil, pork and beef, etc</p> <p style="font-weight:400;">Paper currency was treated with some suspicion. During the Colonial Period, it was frequently issued to finance or pay off debts incurred by military expeditions. The 1748 issue, for example, paid for constructing forts at<span> </span>Cape<span> </span>Fear<span> </span>and Ocracoke for protection of the coastal area from Spanish attacks. Unlike specie, paper currency was subject to counterfeiting, depreciation of face value and inflation. It wasn’t easy to convince Americans to accept the early paper currency. To encourage them, famous and respected men were recruited to sign the front of the bills by hand. The signatures on the reverse often signified a guarantee of payment.</p> <p style="font-weight:400;">The individual most closely associated with<span> </span>North Carolina currency was New Bern printer James Davis (1721-1785). Born and trained in Virginia, Davis came to North Carolina in 1749 to fill the post of public printer, an office created that year by the Assembly to print a revisal of the colony’s laws. Davis opened a print shop in New Bern, first on Pollock Street and later on Broad Street. His first job was printing currency for the province—probably the Bills of Credit authorized by the Assembly on April 4^th,<span> </span>1748. In his capacity as public printer for North Carolina, Davis printed the succeeding issues of currency (1754, 1757/58, ______1774).
