The Knox College Library invites members of the public to a Community Digitization Day to be held Saturday, June 18, 2016 at the Galesburg Public Library (40 E. Simmons St.) from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm.
Bring your materials related to African-American history in Galesburg and we can scan them and place the digital copies in the online collection (you keep the originals), Struggle and Progress: African Americans in Knox County, Illinois.
Printed material such as letters and diaries, brochures from clubs and organizations, church programs are the kinds of materials rich in historical information. Photographs, especially ones dated pre-1950, are also valuable pieces of the historical record.
We will have samples of preservation materials on hand, and material explaining how to properly care for historical artifacts.
The Struggle and Progress project has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.
