Recognizing Your Efforts in 2025
We’d like to offer your institution a $250 credit as a small gesture of appreciation for everything you do for your community.
Thank You for Continuing to Show Up!
Libraries, archives, historical societies, and museums are trusted anchors when things feel uncertain. Communities rely on these institutions for stability, connection, and reliable information.
- Guiding families to local programs and services
- Linking neighbors to food and essential support
- Providing trusted information when it’s needed most
- Keeping doors open and communities connected
As a small gesture of appreciation for that commitment, we’d like to offer your institution a $250 credit toward your next digitization project.
Use it to support your next microfilm, newspaper, or bound book digitization project, helping ensure that access to your community’s past remains open to everyone, no matter what challenges arise.
This credit is a small way to acknowledge that work—quietly done, often without the resources it deserves, and always in service of access to reliable information.
Your work keeps local history alive and accessible. This is simply our way of saying thank you for continuing to make that possible.
