s:ncsa-barden Albert Barden Collection, State Archives of North Carolina — Albert Barden, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh · link
A Raleigh commercial photographer's negatives, roughly 1900 to the 1950s: shopfronts, filling stations, company dinners and one much-reproduced open-pit barbecue. Catalogue number N.53.17.314 appears in the stream three times — twice under 'No known copyright restrictions' and once, in an older upload, under 'All rights reserved' — and the two released scans are mirror images of each other, so the negative's orientation is not settled by this source.
s:commons-highsmith Carol M. Highsmith's America — photographs in the Carol M. Highsmith Archive — Carol M. Highsmith, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division; mirrored on Wikimedia Commons · link
Highsmith gives her photographs to the Library of Congress free of copyright; the Commons files carry the Library's no-known-restrictions statement.
s:ncsa-condev Department of Conservation and Development, Travel Information Division Photograph Collection, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh · link
Photographs made by the state's own News Bureau for publicity use, many of them mounted on printed subject sheets with the locality and date written in by hand. John Hemmer and Bill Sharpe are the photographers named on the barbecue sheets. The sheets are the caption: the pencil on them is quoted in this project's alt text as writing on the object, not as a finding of fact.
s:dpla Digital Public Library of America, DPLA · link
An aggregator, not a holder: rights are set by the contributing institution and vary item by item. North and South Carolina material reaches it through the State Archives of North Carolina, the South Carolina Digital Library and other hubs.
s:digitalnc DigitalNC, North Carolina Digital Heritage Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill · link
Material digitised for North Carolina libraries, museums and archives, each item carrying its contributing institution's own rights statement. ⚠ The site is behind AWS WAF and answers an ordinary request with an empty HTTP 202, so tools/harvest_archives.py needs an aws-waf-token cookie taken from a browser session.
s:ncsa-fcx FCX Photograph Collection, PhC.23, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh · link
Photographs of the Farmers Cooperative Exchange, including Raleigh street views. The Clyde Cooper's Barbecue frame is captioned 1963 by the archive; the cars in it read later than that, so the date is carried as the archive's and not as this project's.
s:commons-fsa-owi Farm Security Administration / Office of War Information photograph collection, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division; mirrored on Wikimedia Commons · link
Photographs made for a United States government agency between 1935 and 1944; in the public domain as works of federal employees. Captions quoted from the agency's own caption sheets, including their period racial wording.
s:flickr-commons Flickr Commons, Flickr, with participating libraries, archives and museums · link
Institutions publish photographs here under the rights statement 'No known copyright restrictions', which is not a public-domain declaration: the holding institution states it has found no copyright, shares that research without warranty, and asks the user to make an independent assessment before a new use. The statement is per photograph. The same institution's stream holds all-rights-reserved photographs alongside released ones, and the same negative sometimes appears both ways, so each file here was checked on its own page.
s:flickr Flickr — individually licensed photographs · link
Photographs uploaded by individuals under a Creative Commons licence of their own choosing. The licence is per photograph and the uploader can change it at any time, so what was granted is the statement read on the page on the date in each sidecar. Share-alike files are complied with rather than avoided: the licence and the photographer ride with the file.
s:ncsa-brimley H. H. Brimley Collection, PhC.42 — H. H. Brimley, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh · link
The photographs of Herbert Hutchinson Brimley, naturalist and first director of the North Carolina State Museum. The agriculture folders include free-ranging hogs on the Outer Banks around 1900 to 1905, captioned in the collection as scrub pigs and razorbacks.
s:internet-archive Internet Archive — texts and images, Internet Archive · link
Scanned books, trade catalogues and seed catalogues. Rights vary per item; United States works published before 1929 are in the public domain, which covers the cookbook and seed-catalogue plates this project would want.
s:commons-margolies John Margolies Roadside America Photograph Archive, 1972-2008 — John Margolies, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division; mirrored on Wikimedia Commons · link
Margolies photographed American roadside commercial architecture and signs for thirty-five years; the Library of Congress bought the archive and placed it in the public domain, with no known restrictions on publication. Fetched from Commons because loc.gov refuses requests from this machine.
s:edgecombe-lena-martin Lena Martin Photograph Collection — Lena Pennington Martin (1877-1950), Edgecombe County Memorial Library, Tarboro, North Carolina; digitised by DigitalNC · link
Photographs made at Tarboro in 1898, three of them of a barbecue cooked in shallow trenches. The library's catalogue links them to the Democratic party mass meeting of 18 October 1898 with the word 'possibly', and cross-references a fourth photograph from the same series showing a white-supremacy campaign banner. This project quotes the hedge rather than firming it up, and does not reproduce the banner photograph.

North Carolina postcards, including linen-era and later chrome cards of named barbecue houses: Wilber's at Goldsboro, Parker's at Wilson, the Barbecue Lodge at Raleigh. Cards are undated in the collection's captions; the dates this project gives come from what is in the frame and are marked as such.
s:commons-pigs-in-the-city Pigs in the City, Lexington, North Carolina — photographs by Dennis Brown — Dennis Brown, Wikimedia Commons · link
Thirteen photographs of Lexington's painted pig sculptures, most taken at or around the 2008 Lexington Barbecue Festival, released CC BY 3.0. The sculptures' names come from the photographer's own captions.

The Alliance's oral-history and Southern BBQ Trail photographs. ⚠ The account is split by project, not by subject: the 2007-2009 sets by Amy C. Evans and Alan Pike carry CC BY 2.0, while the 2012 North Carolina and South Carolina Barbecue Trail sets by Denny Culbert — which hold the Skylight Inn, Stamey's, Bum's, Short Sugar's, Grady's, Cook's, the Barbecue Center, Sweatman's, Hite's and Brown's — are all rights reserved. Nothing from the Culbert sets is used here.

Event and oral-history photographs the Alliance released CC BY 2.0 through Flickr, including pitmasters at festivals.
s:flickr-ncsa State Archives of North Carolina on Flickr Commons, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh · link
Around 117,000 photographs from the State Archives' photograph collections. Uploads made from about 2015 onward generally carry 'No known copyright restrictions'; a body of 2008-era uploads of the same collections, and in places the same images, carries 'All rights reserved'. Photographs taken here were verified one page at a time; the refused ones are listed in data/harvest/picture-sources.json.
s:commons-bpl-tichnor Tichnor Brothers Collection — American postcards, Boston Public Library, Boston Public Library, Print Department; on Flickr and Wikimedia Commons · link
Around 25,000 linen-era postcards printed by Tichnor Brothers of Boston, roughly 1930-1945, digitised by the Boston Public Library and released under CC BY 2.0 on Flickr; state-by-state subsets include North Carolina and South Carolina.
s:flickr-unc UNC Libraries Commons on Flickr Commons, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries · link
North Carolina Postcards and other Wilson Library material, posted under the Public Domain Mark. The library's own repository at dcr.lib.unc.edu serves the same cards, but there the rights appear only as the free-text words 'Public Domain' typed into a metadata field; the Flickr copies carry a rights URI, which is the firmer of the two statements, so they are the ones this project took.
s:greenville-union-bleachery Union Bleachery collection, Greenville County Library System, South Carolina; from the Union Bleachery Historical Society · link
Photographs of the Union Bleachery textile plant at Greenville, including the employees' annual barbecue at Paris Mountain State Park as printed in the company newsletter The Commentator. The item's Rights field reads 'Public Domain'. It is the only openly licensed South Carolina barbecue photograph this project has found.
