This week, August 4 through 8, SHSMO is hosting a giving campaign in support of its digitized and “born digital” collections. The State Historical Society of Missouri’s growing digital collections include digitized photographs, art, maps, diaries, letters, books, and oral histories as well as SHSMO’s born digital repository which contains collections that were received in a digital format.
The State Historical Society of Missouri is among four community partners in mid Missouri selected for Show Me Series, a community film series sponsored by Ragtag film Society at Ragtag Cinema in Columbia. Each screening is followed by a community conversation and is free to the public. SHSMO will kick off the series September 25 – stay tuned to hear which film is chosen and co-curated between SHSMO and our friends at Ragtag Cinema.
