“Charlotte 1911” was designed as a pilot project to demonstrate the capabilities of Main Street, Carolina as a platform for digital history. Thomas Hanchett served as historical advisor for “Charlotte 1911.” Research for the project was undertaken by UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate students Joanne Yavorski, Charlotte Egerton, Kara Pearce, and Frank O’Hale, working with Natalie DeFilippo, Project Manager for MSC during the 2009-2010 academic year.
