Embedded Files
Digital archives represent a significant leap from traditional methods of storing historical documents, photographs, yearbooks, and newspapers. They not only ensure the longevity of these materials but also make them easily accessible to a broader audience.
Preservation of History: Digital archives protect valuable historical records from physical deterioration, ensuring that future generations have access to the past.
Easy Accessibility: Students, alumni, and researchers can access these archives from anywhere, fostering a sense of community and connectedness to the institution’s history.
Educational Resource: Digital archives serve as a rich educational resource, providing students with direct access to primary historical sources.
It’s not just about preserving the past; it’s about bringing history to life in the present, making it a vibrant part of community engagement and learning. The Jackson County Library Learning Commons recognizes the value in making our history freely accessible and engaging for all.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jackson County High School Principal Mrs. Melissa Gillespie for her unwavering support, Mr. Ricky Sanders for his extensive knowledge of Jackson County and valuable contributions to our collections, and Elizabeth Kingrey, a Jackson County High School senior, for dedicating hours of work scanning and organizing materials for this project. We are excited to see this collection grow with the help of more students, staff, and community members.
