Thanks to grants from the Lincoln Community Foundation, the Nebraska Historical Society Foundation and LLCGS member Annette Wiechert we've been working to convert transcripts of those interviews to searchable documents and to convert tapes that retain enough recording sounds to digital media. Not all of the original recordings of 262 individuals survived the last 45 years, but we're excited to present samples of those that have. Join us at the LLCGS Library at Noon or plan to join us on Zoom during your lunch break. We'll listen to a couple of recorded interviews and demonstrate the ability that will be available to search over 5,000 pages of documents describing early Lincoln settlement.
