This presentation will offer an introduction to the processes and procedures for using and discovering manuscript and archival materials about your family in UNC-Chapel Hill’s Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library. We will discuss the Southern Historical Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, University Archives, the North Carolina Collection, the Rare Book Collection, and the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center.
This workshop will present a number of scenarios such as looking for a grandparent’s favorite song, locating student information for an ancestor who attended UNC, accessing your family’s private papers, and contextualizing the lives of enslaved people. Our discussion will not be exhaustive, but it will present you with a sense of the first steps for visiting our Library.
