Volunteer Voices is a statewide digitization program that provides online access to sources that document Tennessee’s rich history and culture. This program involves the collaborative efforts of Tennessee archives, historical societies, libraries, museums, and schools. The initial Volunteer Voices digitization project, “The Growth of Democracy in Tennessee,” will build a collection of 10,000 historically significant photographs, letters, artifacts, and other items from across the state. This project is funded by a three-year grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
