Welcome!

Our digitizing initiative was born from realizing that fragile material containing recordings, while being preserved in appropriate archival containers, would deteriorate over time, and the information within the recordings is too valuable to lose. Thus, by transporting data to a digital platform, we’ve secured a way for history to live on!

Join us in discovering local and regional content that will help us understand where we are today!

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
