To guarantee the Jackson County community permanent, open access to its recorded past, the Jackson District Library has established this Local History Archive. We steward this collection of documents, images, and artifacts so that the history of our community will inspire you to discover, learn, and succeed.

As you explore this archive, you are invited to create a user account and curate your own collections. Share what you know and ask us questions about the collections you see so we can foster a dialogue where we all learn together. Please consider donating artifacts from Jackson County's past to help illuminate and share our community's history.

The past awaits your discovery.
