Get InvolvedWhy we preserve
History can disappear one story at a time.
Old photographs fade. Newspapers crumble. Names become difficult to read on weathered stone. The Shady Lane Digital Preservation Initiative exists because we believe those stories are worth saving.
Not because they were famous. Not because they were wealthy. But because every life contributes to the history of our community.
“Their history is our history.”
Shady Lane Digital Preservation Initiative
Preserving the past. Connecting the present. Building for the future.
The Initiative brings together memorial records, historical collections, cemetery maps, research, volunteer work, and future visitor experiences within one growing framework.
