Event Descriptions
October 17
North Carolina State Archives: Home Movie Day (Raleigh)
When: October 17, 1:00 p.m.—4:00 p.m.
Where: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh
State Archives and Library Building, Auditorium, 1st Floor
As a prelude to American Archives Week, the North Carolina State Archives hosts Home Movie Day Raleigh this year. Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur home movies created not by professional filmmakers, but by individuals, families, or groups. Home Movie Day will take place worldwide on October 17, so join us in Raleigh to view movies and bring your own family films to share (8mm, super8 and 16mm - sorry, no video). Share in a discussion with archivists and film professionals about the care and preservation of these unique records. This event is co-sponsored by the Film Studies Program at NCSU, the North Carolina State Archives, and A/V Geeks Transfer Services.

October 19
North Carolina State Archives: Exhibit, "Extraordinary People in Ordinary Documents and Treasures of the State Archives" (Raleigh)
When: October 19,10:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.
Where: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh
State Archives and Library Building, Archives Search Room, 2nd Floor
Names appear on all types of public records—births and death certificates, wills, membership rosters, court documents. What famous North Carolina writer was recorded as a witness to murder? What well known actor’s name is inscribed in a high school roster? It is possible to find on ordinary public documents the names of North Carolinians who would go on to do extraordinary things. Discover some of the various types of media the State Archives collects — Bibles, letters, diaries, film, photographs, maps and more. The exhibit will feature a page from the original 1663 North Carolina Charter, North Carolina’s copy of the Bill of Rights, postcards, letters, maps, and historic photographs. Archivists will be available to answer questions about the documents and their significance in North Carolina and American history. The film, "Tar Heel Family," will play on a continuous loop. This black and white film, ca. 1954, depicts North Carolina’s transition from an agrarian economy to an industrialized one.
