Library Notes: Help preserve history with Rowan Public Library

Rowan Public Library has been partnering with the Salisbury Post for the last four years to preserve the archives of the newspaper. The project, called the Salisbury Post Morgue Preservation Project (SPMPP), aims to digitize the archives’ contents, including more than 80,000 envelopes of clippings, brochures, photographs and more. The people and places within these clippings showcase the history of Rowan County through the last 100 years of the Salisbury Post. The Salisbury Post started in 1905 as The Salisbury Evening Post and has been the main newspaper of record for the Salisbury-Rowan community. The entire history of the newspaper is available on microfilm for research in the Edith M. Clark History Room at RPL Headquarters in Salisbury.
