Subject
This collection examines archival material ranging from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries, housed primarily in the Southern Historical and North Carolina collections of the Louis Round Wilson Archives. Our materials come from all over the American South, with an epicenter in North Carolina, which localizes our research while also examining broader contexts. This collection includes media such as letters, newspapers, photography, and personal letters and records. We came to the physical archive with a series of individual questions and began by surveying Wilson’s large collection broadly, eventually selecting items that were of particular personal interest. Our process involved transcription, analysis, and digitization through photography and scanning. These digitized items represent only a fraction of what has been collected in Wilson’s various archives.
