 The New Bern Historical Society has over 10,000 images from New Bern's History.

Join him on Sunday, January 25th at 2pm at Orringer Auditorium at Craven Community College. Keep a sharp eye out!  You may spot something in the background of one image that will lead you to a rabbit hole filled with other fascinating stories. 

You won’t want to miss this special presentation. Jim is one of New Bern’s favorites and will draw a large crowd.

Historical Society Executive Director Anthony Giardino is looking forward to this special presentation and urges all to get their tickets soon. “Jim Hodges is a local treasure. I encourage everyone in our area to come and hear one of the greatest local storytellers bring many of our favorite images to life!”
All the images in this presentation have their own fascinating story from New Bern’s History.  Hodges has spent 13 years as Curator, collecting and organizing documents, photographs and artifacts.  Some come from collections of noted New Bern photographers like the Benners Kellum Collection, some from folks who share what they found in family collections.  Hodges points out that “although expanding the Historical Society’s collection is important, it is additionally critical that these acquired artifacts are specific to New Bern and Craven County.”
                                                               
An exciting result of all the organizational work is the new Digital Archive.  Hodges has worked with a group of talented and dedicated volunteers to make these images accessible to the public.  More than 2500 images are now available online at www.NewBernHistorical.org on the Digital Archive. This project continues to evolve as new images are being added constantly. 

Jim Hodges was reared in New Bern, attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and a post graduate dental degree. After satisfying a military commitment and enjoying several years of international travel, Jim returned to New Bern and practiced dentistry until his retirement in 2012. His current life chapter involves his passion for New Bern and its rich history as a member of the Historical Society. As the volunteer Curator of the New Bern Historical Society he spends his days maintaining, conserving and finding ways to share the collection.
