The Salisbury Post has been in its current location since 1922, and the building is now for sale. At this location is the newspaper's archive (more than 30 4-drawer file cabinets). Referred to as the "morgue" by reporters, this archive houses research materials and photographs used by reporters over the past 100+ years.
Salisbury Post Morgue Preservation Project (SPMPP): The Library will partner with the Post to digitize these important historical materials, while ensuring the "Morgue's" preservation, accessibility, and usability. New high-tech equipment has allowed for quality, efficient scanning of documents in an extensive, labor-intensive project. This grant will support the SPMPP.
