Stumbled over the UNC “Documenting the American South” collections again; I had completely forgotten how great it is. Slave narratives, first-person memoirs, oral history narratives, and most interestingly from a research perspective, 121 compositions written by students of UNC between 1795 and 1868.
Oh, and I stumbled here because they have Charles Chesnutt’s books full text with illustrations and lots lots more (including Grace King!).
From today’s Ref Desk site of the day email, the Digital History site. Awesome history resource.
