Outer Banks History Center Ephemera Collection, PC.5276
Abstract
The Ephemera Collection, 1798-2019 and undated, contains ephemera (printed documents,
created for a specific, limited purpose, and generally designed to be discarded after
use) primarily related to the state of North Carolina and its counties, with a particular
focus on Dare County. The collection was assembled over a period of several decades
by Outer Banks History Center staff. Materials primarily document the history of Dare
County and the State of North Carolina. Several notable Dare County organizations
(such as the Roanoke Island Historical Association), events (such as the Pirates Jamboree
and commemorations of the Wright Brothers' first flight), businesses (such as hotels,
restaurants, and retail stores), and other entities are documented in the collection.
The collection especially focuses on the tourism industry in North Carolina, both
on and along the North Carolina Coast and throughout the state. Additionally, the
collection includes historical materials relating to the University of North Carolina
System and materials created by national and federal entities, such as the United
States Coast Guard.

Collection Overview
The Ephemera Collection, 1798-2019 and undated, contains ephemera (printed documents,
created for a specific, limited purpose, and generally designed to be discarded after
use) primarily related to the state of North Carolina and its counties. The largest
portion of the collection documents Dare County and its organizations, businesses,
and events. Materials in this collection include brochures, pamphlets, flyers, event
programs, posters, articles and clippings, circulars, campaign flyers, memorabilia,
reports, and other printed material documenting the state of North Carolina from the
mid-19th century to the present.
The Ephemera Collection is arranged into four series: North Carolina Counties, 1798-2019
and undated; State of North Carolina, 1825-2016 and undated; University of North Carolina
System, 1857-2010; and United States, 1932-2016.
Arrangement Note
The Ephemera Collection is arranged into four series: North Carolina Counties, 1798-2019
and undated; State of North Carolina, 1825-2016 and undated; University of North Carolina
System, 1857-2010; and United States, 1932-2016. The first two series are further
divided into subseries.
Biographical/Historical
The Ephemera Collection was assembled over a period of several decades by Outer Banks
History Center staff. Materials in the collection dating prior to the 1990s appear
to have been collected primarily by David Stick, while materials from more recent
decades were collected and added by individual Outer Banks History Center staff members.
The collection primarily documents the history of Dare County and the State of North
Carolina. Several notable Dare County organizations (such as the Roanoke Island Historical
Association), events (such as the Pirates Jamboree and commemorations of the Wright
Brothers' first flight), businesses (such as hotels, restaurants, and retail stores),
and other entities are documented in the collection. The collection especially focuses
on the tourism industry in North Carolina, both on and along the North Carolina Coast
and throughout the state. Additionally, the collection includes historical materials
relating to the University of North Carolina System and materials created by national
and federal entities, such as the United States Coast Guard.
