The Craft Revival project's primary objective is to create a
web-based digital history documenting the Craft Revival movement
that occurred in western North Carolina from 1895 to1945. A main
component of the project is a virtual collection of documents,
photographs, craft objects, and artifacts that tells the story
of the Craft Revival. This virtual collection consists of
digital surrogates that reside together in a database,
maintained by Western Carolina University's Hunter Library. Most
of the original materials used to produce the digital images in
the virtual collection are housed in seven partner institutions.
