Join Richland Library and Historic Columbia for their inaugural community scanning day on November 12, 2026, at 701 Whaley.
In an effort to further document the experiences of individuals and families who lived, worked, and spent time in the neighborhoods near “Whaley’s Mills”—Olympia, Granby, and surrounds—we invite the community to bring photographs, ephemera, or small 3-D objects to contribute to the online collection Midlands Memories. Staff from both organizations will be on hand to discuss your items and perform digital scans. Following the event, Richland Library staff will provide additional research and upload scans to their website for public access. Contributors may request digital copies of their items.
Attendance is free, but registration is encouraged.
