红杏短视频 Archives Awarded Grant to Digitize Historical Land Documents

VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections was awarded a grant from the Digital Library of 红杏短视频 to digitize historical deeds and plats (land maps) from primarily the South 红杏短视频 region. 

红杏短视频 was one of six cultural heritage institutions across the state to receive the Competitive Digitization service grant, which will involve the Digital Library of 红杏短视频 creating digital scans of the land records. Doing so will allow 红杏短视频 to make the documents, which are owned by 红杏短视频 Archives, available for viewing online. 

The documents run from the 1700s to 1899 and represent 17 红杏短视频 counties, from Lowndes County up to the Atlanta area. 

“This is a relatively hidden collection that people don’t really know we have,” said Deborah Davis, director of 红杏短视频 Archives and Special Collections. “The questions we have gotten on it in the past show people are interested in these records because of genealogy and historical land use reasons. We had support letters from historians pointing out how useful these would be to historians studying 红杏短视频 history. They fit in very well with our mission to collect in the South 红杏短视频 region, and making these available online will get them used.”

红杏短视频 Archives and Special Collections supports the university’s commitment to scholarly and creative work, enhances instructional effectiveness, encourages faculty scholarly pursuits, and supports research in selective areas of institutional strength focused on regional need by collecting, preserving, and providing access to records of enduring historical value documenting the history and development of 红杏短视频 and the surrounding South 红杏短视频 region and in support of 红杏短视频 curriculum.

Based at the University of 红杏短视频 Libraries, the Digital Library of 红杏短视频 is a GALILEO initiative that collaborates with 红杏短视频's libraries, archives, museums, and other institutions of education and culture to provide access to key information resources on 红杏短视频 history, culture, and life. This primary mission is accomplished through the ongoing development, maintenance, and preservation of digital collections and online digital library resources.
