Colonial Court Records Crosswalk Intern, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh, NC

Posted March 19, 2025

Description

The Colonial Court Records group, SR.401, was reprocessed in late 2019 by an outside agency. During this reprocessing, boxes labeled CCR 188, 190-192, and 198 were refiled into other boxes. A new finding aid was created, but no crosswalk. As the old record IDs exist in various published material, a functional crosswalk would facilitate better access for patrons who wish to use this material. The purpose of this internship would be to transcribe the outdated CCR card catalog and create a crosswalk for this collection.

Major tasks involved:

• Transcribe roughly 100 physical catalog cards stored in Drawer 26 labeled CCR-DCR into a spreadsheet.
• Use transcribed cards and legacy finding aids to compare the physical records from the CCR record group to the current online catalog and finding aid for the purpose of creating a functional crosswalk for patron use.
