Carolinian Immigrant Memory Project

Description: The Carolinian Immigrant Memory Project documents the historical, social, political, artistic, and cultural experiences of Carolinian immigrants from colonial to contemporary times. The broad focus aims at preserving and disseminating historical texts, photographs, audio-visual records, and autobiographical accounts of immigrants in the Carolinas. The project rests on a research framework that connects short-range and long-range goals, which include the comprehensive retrieval, preservation, digitization, and dissemination of documentary materials that illuminate North and South Carolina’s immigrant legacy. The project presents for the first time a compilation of materials that have been accessible only piecemeal in publications, collections, and exhibits in the public domain. CIMP aims at integrating the latter into the region’s mainstream cultural tradition to reflect the inclusive and diverse social history of the American South East.
