INTRODUCTION
The Hall of History of North Carolina was first established by Fred A. Olds. as the director. in the west room of the State Museum. December 15, 1902. The installation of objects began that day. Mr. Olds began the collection twenty years before. Knowing this fact. Governor Alfred M. Scales in 1885 wrote a letter specially commending this work. saying that he hoped it would bring about the keeping of North Caro- lina relies in the State and prevent their dispersion in other parts of the country.
The State Department of Agriculture provided a room for the historical collection, and the title "Hall of History" was given it by the director. The result of providing such a place was information as to the location of great numbers of objects. Visits were made to about fifty counties in a search for others. In ten years the ball was full, thousands of objects having been gathered, some coming from other States and all having historical value and forming a part of a con- nected story. Photographs were taken and used in illustrating the history of North Carolina. Special studies were made of the life of the Cherokee and Croatan Indians. Pictures were made of many his- torie buildings and scenes. Many valuable gifts were aude and a generous spirit was shown by owners of tlies in giving or lending these or allowing photo- graphs or sketches to be made of them.
The Hall of History remained in the Agricultural Poliding until 1914, when it was moved to its present Quarters in the State Administration Building. This building is a freproof structure erected at a cost of $270,000 in accordance with the provisions of chapter

INTRODUCTION.
66. Public Laws of North Carolina, 1911. for the pur- pose of housing the State's libraries, archives, histori- cal collections and relics. On the 18th of February. 1914. the removal of objects from the old Hall of His- tory was begun. Every object was carefully pre- pared for transportation and not one was lost, the labels being attached to each. so as to avoid any con- fusion. The work of installation in the new hall began February 20th and was pressed day and night until it was finished in the west ball March 12th. The work progressed so rapidly that this hall was opened to the public March 14th.
The portraits and other pictures in the old State Library were turned over to the director of the Hall of History upon the removal of the library to the new building. It was found that many of these were not suitable for use in the historical collection. so a study was made as to the proper place for all such pictures, which were duly distributed in the Supreme Court section of the building. the Confederate Soldiers' Home and the Agricultural and Mechanical College. With these went some of the pictures from the old Hall of History which were the private property of the director, a number of the latter being placed in the Raleigh High School auditorium and class-rooms.
On the 17th of March a conference was held with the Attorney-General as to the legality and advisa- bility of opening the Hall of History to the public ou Sunday afternoons. He gave his bearty approval to the plan, and so dil Governor Craig. the head of the State board of public buildings and grounds, who commended the idea.
The Hall of History was opened on the afternoon of Sunday, March 22d. it being decided that it should be opened each Sunday between the hours of 3 and "

o'clock. The fact that it would be opened was an- nounced in the newspapers and large cards weze placed on the outer doors of the building. This was the first public institution in North Carolina opened to the public on Sunday, and among the visitors the Erst day were a number who said they had not hereto- fore been able to see the collection because of the steady work of the week days. They expressed their pleasure at being participants in such an event.
On the 30th of March the compilation of a cata- logue of all the objects in the west Hall of History was completed. The announcement was made that lectures on the historical collection would be delivered at any time desired. in the afternoons or evenings. til various organizations have taken advantage of this opportunity. History classes from the several colleges and schools in the city have also paid such visits and taken notes of the lectures delivered by the director.
In 1912 a visit was made to Murphy by the director of the Hall of History, particularly to see the collec- tion of Indian relics, the property of Dr. S. C. Heigh- war. On the 2d of May, 1914, correspondence was begin with him in regard to the placing of this col letivo in the Hall of History, which has resulted mu hi- agreeing to bring the collection to Raleigh and personally install it in the Hall.
The collection in the Hall of History is rich in oh- jeats Hustrating the War Between the States, notably fags and uniforms, more than 40 of the North Caro- lina regiments being represented by their flags, and the uniforms being those of officers of every rank from lieutenant-general and of privates.
Correspondence has been carried on with a view to bringing in every flag carried by North Carolina Con-

INTRODUCTION.
federate troons. Two of these flags have in past years been placed in the collection at Richmond. The opening of the old Hall of History twelve years ago stopped the sending of objects of this character out- side of the State. As the war recedes there is greater and greater loss of such objects if kept in private hands or in the custody of minor organizations. and hence the appeal has been made for the placing of them in the secure quarters offered by the Hall of History, where danger of fire is eliminated. where moth and rust do not corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal.
