โ€œChristiansburg Institute is extraordinarily honored to receive, in good partnership with our friends at Virginia Tech University Libraries, a successful grant award from The Council on Library and Information Resources,โ€ said Christiansburg Institute executive director Chris Sanchez. โ€œThis generous award will significantly empower Christiansburg Institute with the technological resources and digital infrastructure to continue the critically important work of documenting, interpreting, preserving, and sharing the expansive material culture of the historic Christiansburg Industrial Institute.โ€

Partners at Virginia Tech Libraries Nathan Hall and Alex Kinnaman said, “We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with the Christiansburg Institute on this grant award and are honored to support the access to resources and culture at the Christiansburg Institute.

Christiansburg Industrial Instituteโ€™s history is emblematic of the triumphs and struggles generations of African Americans faced in the Appalachian South during Reconstruction and Jim Crow. Thousands of students passed through its halls during its century of life, leaving behind records from their time at the school.โ€

The grant will support the digitization of 52,245 manuscript pages, photographs, student newspapers, costumes, and other objects of material culture that speak to the 100-year story of Christiansburg Industrial Institute (1866-1966).ย 

Digital images will be hosted on the Christiansburg Institute Digital Archive and on Virginia Techโ€™s Southwest Virginia Digital Archive, creating online access to previously inaccessible materials. The databases will be created with alumni input and will be freely accessible to the Christiansburg Institute community, educators, and scholars.
