Why Your Story Matters
Every community is a tapestry woven from individual threads. A faded photograph of a local storefront, a handwritten letter from a Great Aunt, or a program from a long-forgotten church social might seem like "clutter" to you, but to our community, these are vital pieces of the puzzle.
Our theme, "Your History is Powhatan’s History," reflects a simple truth: the official record of our county is incomplete without the lived experiences of the people who call it home. By digitizing your family heirlooms, you aren't just preserving your own legacy—you are helping us build a more inclusive and detailed portrait of Powhatan’s past.
Bring your family documents to be digitized and you will receive a digitized copy to keep.
What to Bring
We are looking for flat paper items that help tell the story of life in Powhatan. Examples include:
- Photographs: Family portraits, local landscapes, or community events.
- Documents: Deeds, diplomas, certificates, or letters.
- Ephemera: Event flyers, vintage menus, or newspaper clippings.
