Digitization Credit

Recognizing Your Efforts in 2025

A $250 credit for institutions that continue to make access possible—supporting microfilm digitization, newspaper scanning, and bound book digitization.


Archival digitization in progress



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

This credit is a small way to acknowledge that work—quietly done, often without the resources it deserves, and always in service of access.

What the Credit Supports

Microfilm Digitization

Preservation-grade capture for 16mm/35mm microfilm, fiche, and aperture cards. Image cleanup and consistent indexing (City, State, Title, Date) help researchers explore local history with confidence.

Newspaper Scanning

Historic and current newspapers—carefully scanned and made searchable—so the community can read history as it happened online, for free.

Bound Book Digitization

Yearbooks, city directories, ledgers, and government records—gently captured to protect bindings, OCR’d for discovery, and delivered for open public access as primary sources.
