Since 1924, the North Carolina Historical Review has been the definitive source for the study and understanding of North Carolina History. The journal is issued quarterly in January, April, July, and October. Each issue includes carefully researched articles that explore North Carolina and southern history from the colonial period to the present; reviews of books about state, regional, and national history; and an annual bibliography of books dealing with North Carolina subjects or written by North Carolinians.

The North Carolina Office of Archives and History preserves, documents, and interprets North Carolina’s rich historical heritage from pre-colonial times to the present. The office includes the Division of Archives and Records, the Division of State Historic Sites, the Division of State History Museums, the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office, the State Office of Archaeology, and Historical Publications.
