Digital Projects

Special Collections and Archives has just unveiled two collaborative projects with EKU students and the Madison County Historical Society.

Madison's Heritage Online is a searchable access point for digitized articles from the Madison's Heritage column that has appeared in the Richmond Register for over 40 years.

Historic Madison is the digital version of Madison County Rediscovered, an architectural history of Madison County.

The archives has recently completed digitization of all the EKU yearbooks. They can be viewed online at the Internet Archive and Encompass.
