“New Life for Old News”
with Montgomery History Archivist/Librarian Sarah Hedlund & Executive Director Matt Logan
Thursday, April 29 @ 2:00 p.m.

Join Archivist/Librarian Sarah as she discusses Montgomery History’s collection of the county Gazette (which spans from 1960-2002) and the microfilm collection of the Montgomery County Sentinel (1964-1969) and details some of the exciting history that can be found amongst these pages. These two papers were some of the most important sources of local county journalism and were critical in telling the story of Montgomery County in the 20th century. Then listen as Executive Director Matt Logan discusses Montgomery History’s plans for preserving these papers, why preservation and digitization of these vital resources is so important, and how you can help.
