The Davidson College Encyclopedia is a work in progress. The Library team is hard at work moving data from the current site to this environment (Omeka S), which should foster greater collaboration and research for our whole community.
Encyclopedia Index
The entries are researched and written by different members of the Davidson College community. The initial entries were created by students in the fall of 2003 in Dr. Shireen Campbell’s English 101W; Literacies for the 21st Century course.
