Preserve
Partnering with regional and local organizations to keep Kansas history and culture alive
We seek out the expertise, knowledge, and memories of rural residents to recover the stories of lost towns, landscapes, and people. We’ve partnered with 80 different institutions and nonprofits in support of undergraduate research and publication.
We’ve preserved dozens of archival collections on behalf of individuals and institutions, including Pioneer Bluffs Ranching Heritage Center in Matfield Green and the Kansas State Historical Society.
We host events such as Digitization Day and strive to develop future events that gather the community and encourage the continuous journey of preserving the past. Events like these will allow the Center to utilize our skills and special equipment to help community members digitally preserve valued personal and/or historical items.
