We've been busy publishing the collections that have been submitted from the 2007-2008 grant awardees.

The Libraries of Stevens County has published the Stevens County Heritage collection, which contains images from the 1880s to the present that depict the region’s people and communities. The Columbia County Rural Library District has published the Columbia County Heritage collection which features its first addition: the Early Columbia County School Photographs Collection; 51 original photographs of school houses of the Columbia County region as well as class pictures. And the Whitman County Library has added two new additions to its Whitman County Heritage collection: the Colfax Postcard Collection of Sandy Jackson and the Photo Collection of Rural Library Service in Whitman County. We’ll be adding new collections to the site in the coming weeks. To view these and other recently added collections please visit Washington Rural Heritage or subscribe to this blog to keep track of the project.
