TO THE EDITOR:
We in the Southern Historical Collection were delighted and gratified to read your editorial about efforts to make permanent the position of African American Collections and Outreach Archivist.
Your support and advocacy help bring us closer to that goal.
There are so many people who benefit when African-American voices are part of the archive. These range from the individuals who entrust family papers to Wilson Library, communities seeking to tell and document their own histories and researchers, including the many undergraduates who work on papers and projects here every year.
To support our fundraising efforts, we encourage you to contact us at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu or to visit bit.ly/SHCchallenge. Even better, we invite you to come by and visit us on the fourth floor of Wilson Library.
Everyone can find records of personal or scholarly significance in the Southern Historical Collection. It is our great pleasure connect you with the past.
