6.  Digital Durham

Durham, North Carolina has been the subject of many scholarly works, and its
particular location and context makes it a compelling place for persons
interested in examining urbanization, immigration, industrialization, and
emancipation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created by Duke
University and the North Carolina State Library, this digital archive
presents a cornucopia of primary sources, including personal letters,
entries from a prominent general store in the region, maps, and census data.
Visitors should feel free to browse through these documents, or they can
also perform a detailed search. Other features of the site include a brief
geographic overview of the Piedmont region and a glossary of terms used in
the 1880 census. Educators will enjoy looking over the "Teachers’ Corner",
which includes lesson plans that utilize some of the primary documents in
the archive. [KMG]
