> Joyner Library Digital Collections at J.Y. Joyner Library of East Carolina
> University is pleased to announce an all-new digital collection, Seeds of
> Change: The Daily Reflector Image Collection<
> http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/reflector>, exploring the post-war period in
> eastern North Carolina as recorded by local news photographers.
>
>
>
> The collection contains more than 7,000 images digitized from the
> photographic negatives of The Daily Reflector, Greenville's newspaper. The
> online collection represents just a portion of the 85,000 negatives donated
> by D. Jordan Whichard III, former Reflector publisher.  The majority of the
> photographs date from 1949 to 1967 and document sweeping changes across
> Eastern North Carolina -- from advances in industry to upheavals in race
> relations and an increasing awareness of public health concerns.
>
>
>
> In addition, the collection's Web site contains supplemental resources to
> provide a better understanding of the images and the history behind them.
> Streaming video of an interview with The Daily Reflector's former editor 
> and
> photographer, along with a full transcript, provide an insider's view of
> Greenville and The Reflector. An essay on the history of Pitt County and
> Greenville during this period, written by ECU history faculty member
> Christopher Oakley, puts the collection into historical context by 
> examining
> the trends and historical events that had an impact on the region. An
> illustrated timeline examines the national and international events that
> shaped the era. Tools for browsing through the image collection by subject
> provide users an easy way to begin their exploration of the collection.
>
>
>
> The creation of Seeds of Change: The Daily Reflector Image Collection was
> partially supported with federal funds made possible through a grant from
> the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the State
> Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural
> Resources. This collection is the latest addition to Joyner Library Digital
> Collections<http://digital.lib.ecu.edu>, an online resource for the
> Library's rare and unique special collection materials.
