Issues of the Charlotte News from 1911 are now available through the North Carolina Newspapers project. The Charlotte News was a daily paper published throughout most of the 20th century. It’s the first urban daily papers we’ve worked on, and the amount and variety of stories covered here are fascinating. It looks a lot like a modern newspaper in that it includes national and international news, sports coverage, classifieds, and even some comic strips.
The paper will be used by the recently-launched Digital Innovation Lab at UNC-Chapel to continue development of the already fascinating Charlotte 1911 project.
