Mapping Early NC Lebanese Households launched in February, 2014 as part of the Cedars in the Pines exhibit at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh, N.C. This project maps Lebanese households in select North Carolina cities from 1900 to 1930, allowing visitors to explore the geography of Lebanese communities and learn more about Lebanese immigrants, their families, and others—such as boarders—with whom they lived. The project was created in collaboration with the Khayrallah Program for Lebanese-American Studies at North Carolina State University, and has been optimized for display on a 27″ Lenovo Tablet.
