NC Room Wish List

The "Wish List" for the North Carolina Room at the Thornton Library is long. Working with the Library Director and the NC Room Specialist we want to complete our Virginia Troop Book Collection. We are missing a lot of the publications because many are out of print. If by chance you have one that is on the list in your home and would be willing to donate it to our library, we will be very thankful. By donating one to the library it will be tax deductible. Take time to go through the list and if you do have one on the list please consider donating it. Our goal is to make our North Carolina Room a "Point of Destination" for research. There are 35 million descendants of soldiers from the War Between the States and thousands of these soldiers are listed in these publications from Virginia.
