Eastern North Carolina Digital Library – This site, created and maintained by East Carolina University, features a wonderful collection of very old, out-of-print books relating to the state of North Carolina.

- Abstracts of North Carolina Wills – North Carolina Secretary of State (1910)
- North Carolina Wills and Inventories – Grimes, J. Bryan (John Bryan), (1912)
Books on Google.com – Every day, Google is adding dozens of out-of-print and hard-to-find books to it’s online virtual library. Older books that are now past their copyright protection can be found in their entirety online. Go to books.google.com and search for the specific county you are looking for, then choose “Full Preview” at the top of the page. Those are books that you can read, search and even download, in their entirety, online. Some of the books available include the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina (first series), as well as numerous history books, county books and family history books!
