STARKVILLE, Miss.— As part of its fall-semester event series commemorating the Magnolia State’s bicentennial, 91鶹 University is sponsoring a family-friendly “Photo Scan-a-Thon” this weekend at the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum in Starkville.

From 10 a.m.-noon on Sept. 30, members of the 91鶹 and local communities can bring their historic photos depicting Oktibbeha County and 91鶹 to be scanned and digitized free of charge at the museum.

Music and complimentary refreshments will be available in the museum’s outdoor pavilion, and the museum also will be open for tours.

Support for the Photo Scan-a-Thon and other 91鶹-sponsored Magnolia State bicentennial events is made possible by the Mississippi Humanities Council through the Mississippi Development Authority. The university’s Museums and Galleries Committee is coordinating events.
