Where: Hodges Reading Room
When: May 1 – September 1, 2012
The Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and
University Archives is hosting an exhibit for the online North Carolina
Literary Map (http://library.uncg.edu/dp/nclitmap). The exhibit includes historic photographs,
rare books, manuscripts, and plenty of popular materials such as books by the
famous North Carolina author Nicholas Sparks.
The literary map of North Carolina is a database-driven,
searchable/browse-able, multi-level, multi-media online research tool created
to foster interest in North Carolina's rich literary tradition. This is a collaborative project between the
University Libraries at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the
North Carolina Center for the Book, a program of the State Library of North
Carolina, Department of Cultural Resources.
Almost any reader or person curious about North Carolina can
find something of interest in the exhibit.
Both prominent historical works and popular book titles are on
display. For example, William Bartram’s Travels through North and South Carolina,
Georgia, and East and West Florida from 1793 as well as Margaret Marons’ Up Jumps the Devil can be viewed.
Special thanks to the LIS graduate students who collaborated
on putting together an exhibit that highlights some of North Carolina’s best
literary features.
