Community Memory
Interested in the history of your community or family? The Community Memory project offers a gateway to the history of Rapid City and the surrounding Black Hills. Citizens, policymakers, genealogists, researchers and visitors from outside the community can find a growing array of digital documents and photographs that make the minds and hearts of earlier generations come alive. Links here can also take you to the many institutions in our area that interpret the history of the Black Hills region.
With support from the Deadwood Preservation Grant program, the Community Memory project is currently engaged in a community survey of businesses and institutions that are more than 50 years old. To read more about this project, check out Closets and Crawlspaces.
The Community Memory Project and the Knowledge Network invite you to submit letters, documents, photographs to this virtual community archives. To find out more, please email or call Stephanie Bents at gro.bilpcr|stnebs#gro.bilpcr|stnebs or 605-394-6139 ext. 2222.
A part of the Black Hills Knowledge Network, the Community Memory project is a collaborative venture sponsored by the Minnelusa Pioneer Historical Association, the Devereaux Library at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, the Dahl Fine Arts Center and the Rapid City Historical Commission.
