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 During the Colonial Period, the scarcity of specie (coin) in 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 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 Cape Fear 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. The individual most closely associated with 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 4th, 1748. In his capacity as public printer for North Carolina, Davis printed the succeeding issues of currency (1754, 1757/58, ______1774). While much of his work was of an official nature, Davis is credited with publishing the first North Carolina imprint. During his nearly thirty-three years as public printer, he printed at least one hundred titles. He also published a variety of other material including North Carolina’s first newspaper, The North Carolina Gazette. In 1782 he relinquished his position as public printer to his son Thomas. -- This project is supported with federal LSTA funds made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources through the North Carolina ECHO, 'Exploring Cultural Heritage Online' Digitization Grant Program.

An Act dated April 2, 1776, authorized the printing of $1,250,000 (£500,000) in Bills of Credit. The bills were issued in two series: $250,000 in the first, dated April 2, 1776 (the beginning of the session) and $1,000,000 in the second, dated May 9, 1776. Each bill has a vignette and some also contain mottoes. This denomination was issued in a series of 10,000 bills. Fractional denominations (less than one dollar) are smaller in size than the higher denominations. Bills were signed by: Willis Alston, J. Bradford, William Haywood, G.

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 During the Colonial Period, the scarcity of specie (coin) in 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 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 Cape Fear 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. The individual most closely associated with 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 4th, 1748. In his capacity as public printer for North Carolina, Davis printed the succeeding issues of currency (1754, 1757/58, ______1774). While much of his work was of an official nature, Davis is credited with publishing the first North Carolina imprint. During his nearly thirty-three years as public printer, he printed at least one hundred titles. He also published a variety of other material including North Carolina’s first newspaper, The North Carolina Gazette. In 1782 he relinquished his position as public printer to his son Thomas. -- This project is supported with federal LSTA funds made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources through the North Carolina ECHO, 'Exploring Cultural Heritage Online' Digitization Grant Program.

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.

Text Any textual data included in the document Need of an Auditorium. When a large number of citizens and pupils had assembled at the Opera House for the closing exercises of the New Bern Graded School it was found that on account of the want of windows to furnish necessary light the pupils could not read their essays and for want of air all suffered from heat and the services had to be suspended. This certainly should be a lesson in contemplation of the erection of the proposed New School Building. If a building fronting on Hancock street with its handsome front of red brick taken from some design to be selected should be erected. A two-story building seventy-five feet long and sixty-five feet wide in a beautiful grove of elm trees, surrounded by an abundance of ground, immediately opposite the Methodist Church, with at least forty windows in each story, which will afford an abundance of Sunshine, Light and Air in every room in the building and nothing can cut off this sunshine, air and light from penetrating every room in the building, with no building near enough to burn it, with a ten foot set of stairs leading into a broad passageway with a large door both in the front and rear, with the door hingeing on the outside, with no lock or any fastenings on the near door except a wooden bar, so that no danger could possibly happen to those assembled in the auditorium if a fire and panic should ensue. Remember the fearful catastrophe which recently took place in Pennsylvania when two hundred and fifty children were burned to death in a school building. This building would be a fitting monument to the memory of Mr. Moses Griffin whose estate furnished every dollar used in erecting it. On the contrary if this building which is to cost Ten Thousand Dollars should be jammed to the blank wall of a building, the front wall of it to be jammed to the rear wall of another building in the most obscure corner of the Academy lot, with a passageway to be cut through a brick wall for a passageway from one building to the other would make a Fire Trap for both buildings and would entirely cut off all light and air from the front of the rear building and from the rear of the front building. It would cast an indignity on the memory of Mr. Moses Griffin whose funds are expected to be used in building it. I have for near fifty years been the Trustee of the Griffin estate[,] also one of the Trustees of the New Bern Academy and have at heart the interest of the Academy as any one of the other trustees, and in my earnest desire to see a building free from any danger from fire or from any catastrophe which might happen I am guarding the interest of the griffin estate and doing my full share of duty to the interest of the New Bern Academy. On my petition to the Court as Trustee of the Griffin Estate I was directed to place Ten Thousand Dollars to the credit of Wm. H. Oliver, T.A. Green, Judge H.R. Bryan, M. DeW. Stevenson and A.D. Ward to be used by them in erecting a Memorial Building to the memory of Mr. Moses Griffin founder of the Griffin Free School. WILLIAM H.
