Carolinian Immigrant Memories:
Autobiographies, Diaries, and Letters
1660-2005
This exhibit focuses on immigrant memoirs,
autobiographies, diaries, letters, and migrant records from colonial times to the
present. The aim of this site is to function as an online studio that prepares
the edition of a critical anthology with authentic readings and illustrations.
The exhibit is organized like a TABLE OF
CONTENTS. It presents four parts that focus on four historical periods
starting with the colonial and ante-bellum periods, followed by the rise of the
modern era and ending with autobiographical accounts from contemporary times.
The text entries are chronologically arranged, and
refer to archived, published, or online readings from a broad range of sources,
including archive collections, journals, newspapers, books and memoirs which
reflect the diverse scope of Carolinian immigrant memory. The TABLE OF CONTENTS highlights the ethnic backgrounds of
voices from all walks of life, including those of accomplished authors,
diarists, essayists, and letter writers as well as those of common citizens who
wrote about business peers, friends and families. The table provides thumbnail
descriptions of the narratives, some of which are made available online as
reading samples. Click on these links to read the texts. The
first letter of the bold faced words
designates the entry in an alphabetized BIBLIOGRAPHY
that is posted at the bottom of this page.
