Probably the most frequently used and certainly among the most valuable sources for the student and historian of early North Carolina are two series of printed and published documents sometimes referred to as The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina
The two series are offered on two separate discs, both of which include a copy of the four-volume index to all 26 volumes.
The second disc is offered here, with 16 volumes.
Vol. XI, 1776, and supplement, 1730-1776
Vol. XII, 1777-1778
Vol. XIII, 1778-1779
Vol. XIV, 1779-1780
Vol. XV, 1780-1781
Vol. XVI, 1782-1783
Vol. XVII, 1781-1785
Vol. XVIII, 1786, and supplement, 1779
Vol. XIX, 1782-1784, and supplement, 1771-1782
Vol. XX, 1785-1788

(This volume is not indexed in the main index described below.)
Stephen B. Weeks (ed.), Index to the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina (Goldsboro,
Charlotte, and Raleigh: State of North Carolina, 4 volumes, 1909-1914).
Vol. XXVII, Index, Volume 1, A-E
Vol. XXVIII, Index, Volume 2, F-L
Vol. XXIX, Index, Volume 3, M-R
Vol. XXX, Index, Volume 4, S-Z, with Historical Review.
It should be noted that while the Colonial Records volumes generally cover the period 1662-1776 and the State Records volumes the period 1776-1790, a considerable number of records for the earlier period were printed in the later series. Weeks determined that in the thirty volumes, some 12,651 pages were devoted to "Colonial Material, 1629-1776"; about 12,994 pages to "State Material, 1776-1790"; and 2,510 pages to the indexes and caption laws.
The arrangement of materials in each volume is not strictly chronological. Researchers who wish to study records by date will need to go through the appropriate volume(s) page by page. It should also be noted that the index, although comprehensive, is not without significant shortcomings. It should be used with discretion.
Of the records that are printed in the two series, the original manuscripts of most are in the North Carolina State Archives. A few are still in the custody of the Secretary of State; others are in the Public Record Office in London or in some other English repository; and some have not been located.
Researchers should be mindful that the editorial scholarship exhibited in The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina is not up to present-day standards. Spelling and punctuation were usually changed to suit the editors; ellipses and omissions are sometimes not indicated; and the texts are frequently not accurate. This is not to say that the Colonial Records and State Records are without value. On the contrary, they form an exceedingly valuable finding aid to surviving records of North Carolina for the years prior to 1790
