JOHN SCHELP, TOM CLARK and PAM SPAULDING of
Durham, NC, for the official
website of the Old West Durham
Neighborhood Association
Judges’
Collective Comments: “This is
one of the finest websites we have
ever visited. It houses some
fabulous black and white visuals,
as well as colored; it takes the
visitor on cyber ‘walking
tours’; we are privy to
interviews with mill workers. We
especially enjoyed ‘Erwin
Chatter’ with its riveting
vintage photographs. The site also
provided us with maps,
schools/stores/mills information,
data about the citizens of Durham,
and other interviews with them. It
introduced us to mill workers via
photographs and snippets of
information about them and their
mill service. The Bull City
Timeline is impressive and takes
us from the early 1800’s to
2003! And...the Erwin Cotton Mills
Timeline was extremely
interesting!
At this time we would
like to reiterate this is one of
the FINEST websites we have ever
visited? It is extremely
well-researched and planned, easy
to use, eye-catching, has
incredible and substantial
content, and we were very proud to
judge this entry!!
