MARKER MANUFACTURERS

The Office of Archives and History as an agent of the State of North Carolina is prohibited from recommending private suppliers. The following companies have sent us material indicating that they manufacture historical markers or plaques. We suggest that interested parties correspond directly with companies listed. The State of North Carolina is not in a position to comment on the quality or reliability of service of these firms.

Privately financed markers cannot bear the Great Seal of North Carolina and are not considered part of the State Highway Historical Marker Program. The North Carolina Department of Transportation prohibits the placement of any private signs, including historical markers, within the state highway right-of-way. Consequently a site should be selected outside the right-of-way on private property and the owner’s permission secured. Use of black and aluminum is reserved for state signs; private markers must be painted in another color scheme such as black with silver letters.
