Discover primary sources from the State Archives of North Carolina in your classroom! Each archival box contains ten or more primary source sets, complete with lesson plans and activities. 

Two options are available for middle and high school during the America 250 NC commemoration: 

• State Constitution includes the 1776, 1868, and 1971 constitutions and significant amendments.
• Revolutionary NC explores a variety of local stories with national significance. A Revolutionary NC elementary version is also available with materials designed for grades 3-5.

All DocsBoxes include select reproductions of primary sources from the State Archives, aligning with social studies and language arts curriculum standards, as well as some activities related to visual arts standards. Thanks to funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the State Archives produced 17 lessons on the state constitution and significant stories about North Carolinians during the Revolutionary War. Boxes with printed primary sources, lesson plans, activities, and craft examples are available to borrow from the following curriculum materials centers.
