The
State
Archives of Florida is the central repository for
the archives of Florida State Government. It is mandated by
law to collect, preserve, and make available for research
the historically significant records of the State, as well
as private manuscripts, local government records, photographs,
and other materials that complement the official State records.
In
a concentrated effort to make the collection available to
the largest possible audience, the State Archives of Florida
applied for grant funding under the Library Services and
Construction Act (LSCA) to digitize a large part of the
collection and
to make it accessible through the internet. This Web site
is a result of that project.
The
Florida Memory Project provides a web-based structure for
primary records that illustrates significant moments in the
state's history, provides educational resources for students
of all ages, and makes available collections for historical
research. The Florida Memory Project utilizes original documents,
photographs, and other materials from the collections of
the State Library and Archives of Florida.
The five primary components of the Florida Memory Project
