North Carolina ECHO, Exploring Cultural Heritage Online, http://www.ncecho.org, is the World Wide Web doorway to the special collections of North Carolina's libraries, archives, museums, and historic sites.

The NC ECHO project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.

This innovative and collaborative project seeks to build a statewide framework for digitization in order to facilitate deep, wide, and comprehensive access to the holdings of North Carolina's cultural institutions. NC ECHO is co-sponsored by Duke University Libraries and the State Library of North Carolina.
