The MetaArchive Project partners are developing a networked, multi-institution archive of Southern digital culture via a distributed digital preservation network. The content includes a variety of subjects such as the Civil War, civil rights movement, slave narratives, Southern music, handicrafts and church history. Its collaborative networks are comprised of libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions that seek to cooperatively preserve their own digital materials.
