Wake Racially Restrictive Covenants

Polygons of Wake County restrictive covenants updated March 2026. Using Optical Character Recognition, volunteers were able to scan and search approximately 600,000 pages of documents from the Register of Deeds database, covering the period from 1900 to around 1950. From this, 15,000+ deeds were identified as containing racially restrictive covenants. This method represents a significant step in historical documentation, and the process is being documented so that it is accessible for other jurisdictions interested in similar projects.维克县（Wake County）种族限制性契约空间多边形数据集已于2026年3月完成更新。志愿者借助光学字符识别（Optical Character Recognition，OCR）技术，完成了县不动产登记档案库中约60万份文档的扫描与检索工作，相关文档的时间跨度为1900年至1950年左右。经梳理筛选，共计识别出15000余份包含种族限制性契约（racially restrictive covenants）的不动产契约。该方法为历史档案研究领域迈出了重要一步，相关流程已被完整记录，以供其他有意开展同类项目的司法辖区参考复用。
