About Heritage of WNC/
WNC Heritage
Digital collections do not create
themselves. They are assembled by people who make decisions, who
describe, who catalog, who scan, and who spend many hours organizing
information so it may be used by a variety of interested users. The
collected work on these pages is here because of the hard work of
collaborating institutions, staff, students, volunteers, and interns.
We thank them all.
SOME OF
OUR OTHER PARTNERS
|
A Sense of Place
Images, information and passages
chosen from a number of nineteenth and early twentieth century books,
periodicals, and documents. Selections have been chosen with an eye to well-known
locations and topics in Western North Carolina. Many readers will
recognize familiar locations, others will discover them for the first
time. It is believed that all will understand the universal need for a
"sense of place" and find in these selections a satisfaction that comes
with knowing more of this place we call Western North Carolina |
