Community-contributed Collections
Through our Community Collections program, we work with many community groups (schools, churches, neighborhood associations) and individuals to make their history available online. The items in this digital collection are not held by UNCG; they are housed in the homes and offices of individuals, businesses, and local community groups, as noted in each item's description. These community partners, through their willingness to share their historical materials, allow us to provide access to the public while letting the physical materials remain in the possession of the groups and individuals who contribute them.
