In this course, the Davidson College Archives, Special Collections, & Community team will introduce you to Town of Davidson history using materials housed in the college archives. Together, we will explore primary sources - including photographs, manuscripts, and artifacts - to discover stories from Davidson's past.
The course will be divided chronologically and each week a different member of the Archives, Special Collections and Community staff will present on a specific time period. Please see the left side bar for links to each of the four weeks.
This site contains materials originally published in yearbooks, newspapers, and other Davidson College publications. You may encounter upsetting racist, oppressive, and outdated representations in these documents. They are included for historical accuracy and do not represent the views of the current Davidson College community, which honors the dignity of all persons and commits itself to a quest for truth and the building of a more just and humane future. The Archives, Special Collections, & Community staff acknowledges the need to provide additional context and continually strives in its work to use terms and representations that reflect the ways communities describes themselves today.
