Documenting the American South (DocSouth), a digital publishing initiative sponsored by the University 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.
DocSouth has contributed numerous resources to LEARN NC’s digital textbook project for North Carolina history. Additionally, LEARN NC publishes lesson plans that integrate digitized resources from DocSouth’s collections.
