September is the month to find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Whitman County Library’s online digital photo collection. The Whitman Heritage Digital Collections team will host presentations at four local branches. In addition to the presentation and display, the team will scan historically significant photos for you. Schedule an appointment to bring up to 15 photos or documents to be digitized and added to our online collection. All your original photos will return home with you when you leave, along with a complimentary thumb drive with digital copies. We look forward to seeing you!

The presentations are open to everyone, but scanning will be done by appointment only to ensure you receive the best service. To participate, please contact Whitman County Library at 509-397-4366 or info@whitcolib.org to set up your personal time slot for the event. Please feel free to call with any questions or concerns.
