Search engines are good tools for finding primary source materials that libraries and archives have digitized and made available on the Web. One such digital collection is the UNC's Documenting the American South (DocSouth). Searchable through Google, DocSouth includes letters, diaries, slave narratives, war propaganda posters, and much more, offering Southern perspectives on American history, literature, and culture.
