Excerpt from Guide to the Hall of History of North Carolina 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. Oldsbegan 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 Carolina relics 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 hall was full, thousands of objects having been gathered, some coming from other States and all having historical value and forming a part of a connected 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 historic buildings and scenes. Many valuable gifts were made and a generous spirit was shown by owners of relics in giving or lending these or allowing photographs or sketches to be made of them. The Hall of History remained in the Agricultural Building until 1914, when it was moved to its present quarters in the State Administration Building.

The Croatan Indians of Sampson County, NC, written by George Edwin Butler (1868-1941) and composed only a year after Special Indian Agent Orlando McPherson's Indians of North Carolina report, was an appeal to the state of North Carolina to create schools for the "Croatans" of Sampson County just as it had for those designated as Croatans in, for example, Robeson County, North Carolina. Butler's report would prove to be important in an evolving system of southern racial apartheid that remained uncertain of the place of Native Americans. It documents a troubled history of cultural exchange and conflict between North Carolina's native peoples and the European colonists who came to call it home. The report reaches many erroneous conclusions, in part because it was based in an anthropological framework of white supremacy, segregation-era politics, and assumptions about racial "purity." Indeed, Butler's colonial history connecting Sampson County Indians to early colonial settlers was used to legitimize them and to deflect their categorization as African-Americans. In statements about the fitness of certain populations to coexist with European-American neighbors and in sympathetic descriptions of nearly-white "Indians," it reveals the racial and cultural sensibilities of white North Carolinians, the persistent tensions between tolerance and self-interest, and the extent of their willingness to accept indigenous "Others" as neighbors.
