Sixty-eight historic photos from the Wayne County Public Library are now available on DigitalNC.org. The photos depict downtown Goldsboro primarily in the early 20th century and include some nice images of old buildings and cars, including this shot of a couple, probably just married, in a car completely covered with flowers.

We’ve just added a new batch of images from the Tufts Archives (Pinehurst, N.C.). These photos showcase the sporting and social life of Pinehurst in the first part of the 20th century, and include several more great images of golf and golfers.

The quality of the photographs themselves is especially striking. I like these three action shots from equestrian competitions.

These photos, from the Transylvania County Library, are both labeled “Driverless Car Parade, 1937.” What in the world is a driverless car parade? The cars, as far as I can tell, have drivers. Any ideas?

It’s hard to take a picture of a hog on the move.

For this and other scenes of rural life in North Carolina, check out photographs from the Haywood County Public Library in the Images of North Carolina digital collection.

Photographs from the Braswell Memorial Library (Rocky Mount, N.C.) are now available on DigitalNC. These images are from the Charles Killebrew collection, a large collection of photographs from the 1940s through the 1990s now housed at the Braswell Library. Killebrew was a local photographer who operated a studio in Rocky Mount and worked for many years for the Rocky Mount Telegram. Learn more about the collection on the Braswell Library’s Local History & Genealogy page.

The images on DigitalNC were scanned from original negatives and show the variety of this great collection. There are many shots of tobacco farmers and factories, images of floods in Rocky Mount and Princeville, and some wonderful photos of students and teachers in African American schools in the 1950s and 1960s.

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday for which many people don something green to mark the occasion. This photograph, from the Tufts Archives (Pinehurst, N.C.), depicts a St. Patrick’s Day costume party attendee who, in 1931, took the tradition very seriously – literally bedecking himself in green by dressing up as the ‘Pinehurst Greenhouse’.

A selection of over 100 historic photos from Davidson College are now available on DigitalNC. The photos are from the Archives & Special Collections department at the Davidson College Library.

The images now online include a variety of campus scenes, shots of students, faculty, and campus buildings, and some great action shots of early 20th century sporting events.

The “Digital Davie” exhibit includes a neat pictorial map of the small mill town of Cana, N.C. The map depicts Cana at the turn of the 20th century. It is based on the memories of local residents and was presented to Cana native Flossie Martin on her 100th birthday.

Materials in Digital Davie are shared online by the Davie County Public Library.

Among the many great photos from the Ashe County Public Library that are now available on DigitalNC are some interesting images showing people at work. Here are three nice interior shots showing, from top to bottom, workers making pipes, doing laundry, and making some of the renowned Ashe County cheese.
