A large collection of urban renewal records from Durham County Library’s North Carolina Collection will be digitized by the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center and published on DigitalNC.org. These records include property appraisals and photographs taken in the 1960s and 1970s, and include a significant amount of information about Durham’s historically Black neighborhoods, including Hayti.
