| This resource site offers a tremendous repository of original texts and information. The Web site
provides a clearinghouse for five ambitious projects: “slave narratives, first-person narratives,
Southern literature, Confederate imprints, and materials related to the church in the black
community.” Works have been digitized and carefully edited. They include both images and text and
are made available in SGML format to better preserve their appearance for research purposes or in
HTML format for universal access. If you are interested in the American south, especially slave
narratives or Southern literature, you won't want to miss the DAS site. |
