The UNC Greensboro University Libraries recently acquired a grant to digitize 10,000 slave deeds and sale records from counties across North Carolina over the next three years. The goal of the "People Not Property" project is to create a searchable, digital database that will be indexed by location and the names of all enslaved individuals. This database will create a new genealogical resource for African-American researchers with Pre-Civil War roots in North Carolina.
