Documenting the American South (DAS) http://docsouth.unc.edu/index.html, an electronic collection sponsored by the Academic Affairs Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, provides access to digitized primary materials that offer Southern perspectives on American history and culture. It supplies teachers, students, and researchers at every educational level with a wide array of titles they can use for reference, studying, teaching, and research.
Currently, DAS includes seven digitization projects: slave narratives, first-person narratives, Southern literature, Confederate imprints, materials related to the church in the black community, and North Caroliniana.
* Southern Literature: "A Digitized Library of Southern Literature, Beginnings to 1920" is based on a list of the 100 most important works of Southern literature prepared by the late Robert Bain, Professor of English at the University. Funded initially by a Chancellor’s grant, its ongoing development is sponsored by the Library.
* First-Person Narratives: Autobiographies, diaries, and memoirs form the basis of "First-Person Narratives of the American South, 1860-1920," which won a $75,000 grant in the 1996/97 Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital Library Competition.
* Slave Narratives: "North American Slave Narratives, Beginnings to 1920" received a $111,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. It will enable the Library to continue its efforts to digitize all the narratives of fugitive and former slaves published in broadsides, pamphlets or book forms in English up to 1920, and many biographies of former slaves as well.
* "The Southern Homefront, 1861-1865" documents non-military aspects of Southern life during the Civil War, especially the unsuccessful attempt to create a viable nation state as evidence in both public and private life. A l998 National Leadership Grant Award of almost $139,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services supports this project.
* "The Church in the Southern Black Community, Beginnings to 1920," traces how Southern African Americans experienced and transformed Protestant Christianity into the central institution of community life. This project won a $75,000 grant in the 1998/99 Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital Library Competition.
* "The North Carolina Experience, Beginnings to 1940," is an ongoing digitization project that tells the story of the Tar Heel State as seen through representative histories, descriptive accounts, institutional reports, fiction, and other writing. A 2000 National Leadership Grant Award of $160,507 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services supports this project.
* " North Carolinians and the Great War" examines how World War I shaped the lives of different North Carolinians on the battlefield and on the home front as well how the state and federal government responded to war-time demands. The project is supported with federal Library Service and Technology Act (LSTA) funds made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources through the North Carolina ECHO Digitization Grant Program.
The texts come primarily from the premier Southern collections in the Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Southern Historical Collection is one of the largest collections of Southern manuscripts in the country. The North Carolina Collection provides the most complete printed documentation of a single state anywhere. The Rare Book Collection's Southern pamphlet collection and Davis Library’s rich holdings of printed materials on the Southeast offer excellent coverage of the region.
Planning for the Library's collection of digital texts and images is coordinated by the Digital Initiatives Development Group, comprised of Library staff involved in the various projects and currently chaired by Larry Alford, Deputy University Librarian. The production of the digital texts and images as well as their publication on the web is managed by Natalia Smith, Digitization Librarian, who heads the Digitization Section within the Collection Development Department. To identify other staff with project-specific roles click on "Staff" at the end of the "About the Project" page for each project.
Members of an editorial board, composed of UNC-CH faculty, librarians, and publishers guide the development of Documenting the American South. The Board has overall responsibility for policies that guide the selection of texts for DAS and which shape the interpretative information.
Staff working on DAS projects use OCR software to scan titles. They proofread scanned materials to ensure that the texts are accurate and complete. Then they mark up titles with SGML encoding, according to TEI Guidelines, and publish them on the Internet in both TEI/SGML and HTML formats. All the digitized texts receive individual full-level MARC catalog records, created through the OCLC system. The database is located on the Ibiblio server at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
