Introduction

During the summer of 2004, the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Libraries commenced a two-year project to create a resource-based research and educational web site titled Green ‘N’ Growing: The History of Home Demonstration and 4-H Youth Development in North Carolina. This was undertaken in three stages. The first was to digitize more than 21,000 unique images and pages of text held by the NCSU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center and the North Carolina State Archives and to make these available via the Internet. The second was to provide “added value” by enhancing intellectual access to the digital objects through subject lists, geographic headings, and brief narrative essays. The third was to design a web site to guide research and classroom use of the digitized resources.
