The first phase of a photo-digitizing project -- aimed at preserving San Marcos history -- is now complete. Bobcat Update`s Veronica Vergara has more on the story.
A team at University Archives has been entrusted with preserving photo negatives donated by the San Marcos Daily Record. It`s estimated to be a collection of about 800-thousand images taken from the mid-1930`s into the 2000`s. They provide a glimpse into the city`s past.

For those involved in the project, it's an extraordinary experience -- preserving moments in time of a place they call home.

San Marcos is a rapidly growing city, and the team at University Archives hopes the digitizing project can engage the community in remembering, discovering and appreciating the city`s history.

The San Marcos Daily Record`s negatives are available online on the project's Flickr page where 14-hundred images have been stored. More will be added in the days and weeks to come. For Bobcat Update, I'm Veronica Vergara.
