NC ECHO: Exploring Cultural Heritage Online

North Carolina ECHO, Exploring Cultural Heritage Online, is the World Wide Web's doorway to the special collections of North Carolina's libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and other cultural institutions. It is an evolving statewide, collaborative access to special collections and digitization project. Funded through a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grant and managed by the State Library of North Carolina, this innovative project was one of the first in the nation to build a statewide framework for digitization and addresses a full-range of digitization needs of the state's cultural collecting agencies (libraries, archives, and museums).

With North Carolina ECHO, you can:

- Search an online directory of the cultural repositories of the state.
- Explore online resources created by those institutions.
- Discover the outstanding research opportunities and unique collections available in North Carolina.

The NC ECHO vision is that "All of North Carolina's cultural institutions work together to make the state's unique cultural and historical resources accessible for the education and enjoyment of people of all ages in the state, nation, and the world."
