Visiting Speaker: Robert Allen on Digital Loray
Sponsored by the Summersell Center and the Libraries
Robert Allen’s talk is a report on “Digital Loray,” a digital public humanities “project in process” being undertaken by the UNC Digital Innovation Lab. “Digital Loray” is a multi-media digital collection of materials reflecting the history of one of the largest and most iconic textile mills in the South, the Loray Mill in Gastonia, N.C., the tens of thousands of people who worked in the mill over its 90-year history as an operating textile manufacturing facility, and the community of which the mill has been and continues to be a part. The long and rich history of the mill includes the Loray Mill Strike in 1929. The 600,000 square foot site is being restored and repurposed as apartments and retail and commercial space. “Digital Loray” is designed as an online historical and community resource, and as source material for on-site programming and activities.
