Origin & Mission:

The CFHI was established in 2003 as a fully independent and

non-profit Institute dedicated to the promotion of regional historical research, and to the dissemination of historical knowledge.  The Institute's primary goal is to increase public awareness of American history through factual, objective and critical analysis. The Institute supports and advises historians researching regional history and promotes public outreach through stimulating lectures, symposia and historical publications.

Partnership & Collaboration:

The Care Fear Historical Institute also promotes partnership and liaison with local historical groups through joint lecture and research projects to further public outreach.

Publications:

The Institute publishes periodic reports through the "Journal of Cape Fear History" that highlights the work of area researchers and historians, and which allows the public to better understand the unique history of this region.
