Astoria, City of

The Astoria Public Library will engage community volunteers to digitize papers from founding families, early City of Astoria records, and materials documenting local industries, events, organizations, and people. Building on the success of an existing program that involves community members in processing the Library's local history collections, the project will enhance access to these materials. The project team will create a shared regional digital collection including content from the library and the Clatsop County Historical Society and offer public programming to support community dialogue related to the collection and preservation of local histories.
