It’s hard to believe that just over six years ago, CCHS launched its digital scanning initiative to preserve its own vast paper collections. Since then, the center has also become a regional resource, helping many local partners safeguard and share their historical materials.

Even more exciting: the program now has a dollar-for-dollar matching opportunity—up to $20,000 through the end of 2025. This match will help sustain and expand the scanning center’s work for years to come.Below, you’ll find “Facts and Statistics about the CCHS Scanning Center,” a concise snapshot of the program’s impact and how the community can help keep this momentum going.
