Yakima Memory Collection

In July of 2001, the Yakima Valley Regional Library and Yakima Valley Museum began a project titled Yakima Memory. This project involves the digitization of approximately 9,000 photographs in two collections, and provides access to the new digitized collections via the internet. The intention of this project is to provide easier access to the photograph collections for study while securing a method of preservation and conservation. Yakima Memory features images from the collections at the Yakima Valley Regional Library and the Yakima Valley Museum.
