Southwestern Community College (SCC), a pillar of the community since 1964, is exploring the possibility of hosting a scanning day. This event aims to create a comprehensive digital archive of SCC’s rich history.
SCC is looking for anyone that has old photographs, letters, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, or any document related to SCC. Any scanned information will be posted online and made accessible to the public. Visit DigitalNC.org to see SCC’s digital collection.
Personal items relevant to the history of Western North Carolina, even if unrelated to SCC, are also welcome. If enough interest is generated, the scanning day will take place in February at one or more of SCC’s locations in its service area of Jackson, Macon and Swain Counties.
The scanning day would involve staff helping scan all documents into the online archive. Donated materials can be brought to the location, or a pickup service may be provided.
Norrie Meus, SCC History Instructor, said: “This is a great opportunity to have an accessible record of the ways SCC has contributed to the community since it opened.”
