TO THE EDITOR:
A recent article noted that the virtual museum of UNC’s history no longer appears on the University homepage (“Students criticize racial history of building names,” Feb. 7).
This rich resource, however, thrives and continues to grow under the management of UNC Libraries, which was a partner in its development.
I invite readers to visit http://museum.unc.edu to learn more about all aspects of campus history through original source documents from the UNC Library collections.
Virtual museum exhibits include some of the most difficult chapters in the University’s history that inform today’s discussion about building names, including slavery, the Civil War, segregation and the African-American student experience.
