A WWI Digital History Project
As part of continuing to develop this project, we are migrating and expanding it to another platform. Once we finish Carolina in the Trenches 2.0, this site will be archived. But until then, we hope that you enjoy it!
Welcome to Carolina in the Trenches -- a digital history project at UNC Charlotte!
Through a variety of online resources and digital exhibits, our goal is to bring greater awareness to the many ways that North Carolina and its people contributed to the American experience of the First World War. Use the portals below or the drop-down menu bar on the left to enter and navigate this site.
This is an on-going project, so check back regularly as we update the project with new stories, exhibits, and interactive features!
