American Enka Corporation: The Voices of Enka Village is an educational resource describing daily life for workers and their families and delves into the labor and industrial histories of Western North Carolina. Oral histories provide first-hand accounts of working and living at Enka Village. Architectural drawings and blueprints add context to the village structure and how it impacted the people that lived there. You are welcome to visit different pages or you can follow the order of the website by clicking the button at the bottom of each page.
This project was researched, written, and completed by Lauren Callaghan. You can learn more about me here. This capstone would not be possible without Dr. Dan Pierce, my Thesis Advisor, Dr. Ellen Holmes Pearson, my Website Advisor, and Dr. Sarah Mercer Judson, my Content Advisor.
