Photos or it didn’t happen.

We are starting a new digital local history collection, and we need your help to build it.

The Irvine Public Library will be hosting a "scanning day" at Katie Wheeler Library Sunday, August 9, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Bring photos of your life in Irvine for staff to scan into our system and preserve your place in our local history.

The library will keep the scans to add to our local history collection, and we’ll send you a copy to add to yours, too!
