Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Biennial Report of the North Carolina Department of Archives and History: July 1, 1952 to June 30, 1954 In the field of archives and manuscripts, the most notable expansion occurred in the records management program. In recent years various state departments, especially the larger ones such as Agriculture, Highway, Motor Vehicles, and Revenue, had been accumulating records so rapidly that these piled up in Offices and hallways or were transferred to basements and other poorly suited depositories. A ware house originally erected to house the Emergency Relief Administration records came to be used for the semicurrent records Of several agencies. In 1941 custody of this building was assigned to the Department of Archives and History and efforts were made to use it as efficiently as possible. At best, however, it was a makeshift, and the need for a suit able record center became steadily more pressing.
