Before you go …
If you like what you are reading and believe in independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan journalism like ours—journalism the way it should be—please contribute to keep us going. Reporting like this isn’t free to produce and we cannot do this alone. Thank you!

In early 2015, Carolina Public Press began publishing a “Document of the Day” to share key public records. The entries are selected because of their potential import. Some have appeared in our news stories, while others were stand-alone offerings.
Either way, they’re all compiled here in the archive, which is ever-growing, vastly varied and completely downloadable and searchable.
The most recently posted documents appear at the beginning. Have a look, dig in and dig deep. And please tell us what you find and which other records you’d like to see.
