The Tennessee State Library and Archives has been planning to collect digital records of how World War I affected Tennesseans.
The library said archivists will travel throughout the state to digitally scan and photograph documents, maps, photographs, uniforms, and other artifacts related to World War I.
The archivists won't take items from the owners but will provide tips on how to take care of them.
The first event has been scheduled for this week in Nashville. Items will be digitally recorded from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday at the Library and Archives building at 403 Seventh Avenue North in downtown Nashville.
