I'm pleased to announce the launch of the beta site for North Carolina Maps, the collaborative map digitization project by the North Carolina State Archives, North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill, and Outer Banks History Center.  North Carolina Maps is available now at:

http://www.lib.unc.edu/dc/ncmaps/

The site currently contains over 750 maps, ranging in date from the late 1500s to the 1960s, and covering the entire state of North Carolina.
Highlights include many of the earliest maps of the state, early state highway maps, Coast and Geodetic Survey maps, and soil survey maps.
Users should check back regularly as new maps and features will be added on a regular basis over the next two years.  There is at least one detailed map for each of our 100 counties.
