Why a digital archive?

Not only can your collection hold stories of people, places and times it can serve as a way to communicate over time, space and culture. Your archive is your story and you will decide its use. The Lakeland Digital Archive has been used for many purposes including civic action, artistic expression, scholarly research, story telling, public history and more.
