Hmong Museum is embarking on a forward-thinking trend in preserving Hmong history through digitization. As such, we are launching a major scanning project in May of 2019.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Community members can bring up to 5 items to be scanned on-the-spot.
  • Contributors will receive a copy of the scans
  • The digital image will be a donation to the Hmong Museum’s archives
  • Contributors will keep their items.

 

WHY DONATE YOUR IMAGES

Preserve you family’s legacy

  • These images will be archived in perpetuity to be accessible by for future generations.

Share your family story

  • “A picture is worth a thousand words”: Images shared could be used in Hmong Museum programs, historical publications, other related fashion — making it accessible to community. Your images will never be altered or distorted.
