About

Historic Chapel Hill promotes the idea that historical scholarship and preservation reports developed by public agencies should be freely available and easily accessible. The project is a collaboration among the Department of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, Preservation Chapel Hill, the Town of Chapel Hill, and the Chapel Hill Historic Districts Commission.

Want to become involved? We are always seeking new partners, stories, and sponsors.
