WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Historical Society invites the public to participate in its upcoming Historic Photo Scan Day on Saturday, May 9.

This event encourages area residents to bring old photographs of people, places, and events connected to Kosciusko County to be preserved in the museum’s archives.

During the event, museum staff and volunteers will carefully digitize each photograph while owners wait, ensuring that all original items are promptly returned. The initiative aims to expand the Society’s collection and safeguard valuable pieces of local history for future generations.

“This event allows us to gather more historical pictures and details that can be used in genealogy research and in promoting the county’s history,” said Teresa Jones, director of the Kosciusko County Historical Society. “The more we can expand our collection, the more helpful we are to those who are looking for pictures of the past. This event will also allow us to preserve these pictures for generations to come.”

Photo Scan Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Historical Society, located at 121 N. Indiana St., in Warsaw. Community members are encouraged to attend and contribute to preserving the rich heritage of Kosciusko County.
