Documenting the American South
Today's site, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Library,
presents primary source materials related to the American South. Gentle
Subscribers
will find a noteworthy reference source for information on the multi-layered
past
of the Southern U.S.
"Documenting the American South (DocSouth) is a digital publishing initiative
that
provides Internet access to texts, images, and audio files related to southern
history, literature, and culture. Currently DocSouth includes fifteen thematic
collections of books, diaries, posters, artifacts, letters, oral history
interviews, and songs." - from the website
Through the use of specific and highly relevant themes, this superbly organized
exhibit features primary source materials related to The Church in the Southern
Black Community, The Southern Homefront (during the Civil War) and North
Carolinians and the Great War, among more than a dozen other significant topics.
Additional highlights include the most important literary works from the
colonial
era to the early twentieth century, historic maps from the 1500's to 2000 and a
look at North Carolina moviegoing in the early days of cinema.
