Some updates! A little over a year ago, I announced that we were transitioning and reviewing/revising much of the content from our Facebook page State Troops and Volunteers to a more permanent location. I am happy to report the progress at our website:

Tar Heel Faces

This site was created through Omeka, which is a web-publishing platform used for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections.

The site not only allows us to share images and stories, but also is much more user-friendly for research purposes. A full word/phrase search engine is included, and images can also be browsed by a topical tag. For example, if you want to find soldier images from a particular County or Regiment, we now have that capability. Additionally, you can directly submit your own images and stories for inclusion.

I could go on and on about all of the bells & whistles of the site, but I encourage you to take a look and find out for yourself! Likewise, let me know what you think, or any recommendations you may have for improvements.
