Researchers can now find thousands of digitized historic items from the collections of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, such as photographs, documents, maps, bible records, cemetery records, special collections, postcards, audio, and video. In addition, the digital collections cover everything from quilts to agricultural resources, the Civil War to the Tennessee School for the Deaf, and Suffrage to the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Jennifer Randles is the Digital Materials Librarian at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Randles holds a master’s degree in Information Science from the University of Tennessee. Prior to joining TSLA, she worked at Scripps Networks Interactive and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Libraries.
