This page will contain an overall evaluation of “Charlotte 1911” and assess things like how it appealed to its audience, how it functioned as an independent project, and how it essentially served its purpose. In order to do that we had to determine if what the project said it was offering to users, was actually being offered.
Charlotte 1911 is a mapping tool to locate or relocate small businesses and neighborhoods. It merges the old mapping records and the new mapping records to provide a more accurate and thorough visual of what the city was like 100 years ago. The project provides an in depth map analysis and several map spotlights from the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. The project successfully provides a glimpse at what life was like in 1911 Charlotte. Even from the main drawing presented on the front page, the viewer is able to consider what it was like to live there in the early 1900’s.
The map that the digital humanities of UNC created has many different categories and filters to search by and narrow one’s potentially broad search. Some of these filters include: Church, Public Service, Retail, and Manufacturing. These help to better find what the user is looking for. The “Charlotte 1911” project serves its purpose in enabling its users to locate certain streets and historical sites that were developed back in the beginning of the 20th century. 
The creators of this project have worked collaboratively with other partner companies to further the usefulness and accuracy of the map of Charlotte 1911. They’ve worked with Digital Innovation Lab and Levine Museum of the New South which reside in . They are b
oth somewhat recently established (DIL in 2011 and LMNS in 1991, being a little older). Digital Innovation Lab is working on another project called Prospect right now which is actually the project that “Charlotte 1911” was built on. Levine Museum of New South’s mission is even to create projects (other than, but also including Charlotte 1911) that show what life was like in different cities before and around the Civil War.
The project even provides an built-in map that redirects you to a separate site where it can be used to do everything that is advertised. It allows the user to zoom in on the city of charlotte and select different buildings. The tool is a wildly successful and useful mapping device capable of showing those who view it what life was like in the Old South
