Three scrapbooks, courtesy of our newest partner, Cleveland County Memorial Library, are now available on DigitalNC. These scrapbooks cover large ranges of time, from 1928 through 1999, and focus on the Bridges family along with the African American community in Shelby, North Carolina.
Included are many different materials such a labeled family photographs, news clippings, letters, greeting cards, obituaries, funeral program, and event fliers.
