Purposes and Objectives of the North Carolina Society of Historians, inc

Our newsletter, FROM THE QUILL, keeps members informed of society activities as well as promoting the accomplishments and projects of its members. It encourages the exchange of information; and, it provides interesting articles relating to general history, genealogy and preservation. Members will receive issues as volunteer time is available.

Anyone may submit material for publication in our newsletter. This 'material' can be in the form of award news, historical/genealogical data (please cite sources), old newspaper articles, biographies, photographs, society/association news, announcements, family reunion data, etc. Members may submit free advertisements of their works; however, non-members will be charged a $10 insertion fee per issue. The Editor reserves the right to edit all information received. Please do not send anything to the Editor that needs to be returned or is your only copy.

Queries for publication are welcome, from members and non-members. We ask that you limit your queries to 75 words or less AND include your name, address, telephone number or email address.
