Dubbed “Main Street, Carolina,” the project will capitalize on the University Libraries’ renowned North Carolina Collection and awarding-winning digital publishing initiative, “Documenting the American South,” to enable local organizations and individuals to learn about the character and identity of North Carolina towns over the past century.
Robert C. Allen, James Logan Godfrey professor of American studies, history and communication studies at UNC, will lead the “Main Street, Carolina” effort. A Gastonia, N.C., native, Allen has taught at UNC since 1979.
