Eastern Shore Baseball Memorabilia Sought for Nabb Research Center Digitization Initiative

Pocomoke Baseball TeamSALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture continues to seek photos and memorabilia from semi-professional Eastern Shore baseball teams of the mid-20th century to be photographed and scanned as part of its ongoing digital archive initiative.
    
The center hosts an opportunity for community members to bring their items for scanning to the Princess Anne Library, 11767 Beechwood St., from noon-2 p.m. Friday, October 11. Owners may view the process as their memorabilia is scanned and photographed on site, with the originals immediately returned.

The project, expected to provide a digital archive for those researching the region’s baseball heritage, as well as materials for an exhibit at SU next spring, is funded by a competitive grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Common Heritage Program.
