McLean County Museum's New Digital Photo Collection Showcases Tidbits of DeWitt County History

Recently the McLean County Museum of History rolled out digitized photos, part of a small percentage of over a million photos donated to them by the Bloomington Pantagraph. Candace Summers says it was quite an effort to organize those thanks to a grant they received.

 

 

According to Summers, if you are into DeWitt County history, there is a portion of their pictures that have ties to DeWitt County. She says this is a free service available online.

 

 

The initial digitization of photographs happened thanks to a grant and Summers says they were fortunate to receive another grant to digitize even more photos.

 

 

mchistory.org is the website to check out the photo collection. Summers says the collection and the organization of photos are always evolving so she encourages checking back frequently.
