Picture this

If you haven’t paid very close attention to our multimedia library this summer, you won’t have kept up with how fast it’s grown. (How could you, though? I am supposed to be in charge of this website, and I can’t keep up with it either.) Since May, we’ve added:

• More than 500 photographs from around the world, with historical and cultural context — including 200+ of Ecuador, 150+ of Bali, and 200+ of Nepal
• More than 50 photographs of Depression-era North Carolina from N.C. State University’s “Green ‘N’ Growing” collection
• Several early maps of North Carolina, from the 1500s to 1900
• Several excerpts of oral history interviews on topics such as civil rights and Hurricane Floyd, with accompanying lesson plans

Soon, we’ll have 200 photos of Mexico with historical and cultural context, as well, and we are gearing up to add several hundred photographs of North Carolina.
