When selecting this month's spotlight archive, we came across the Unknown Faces Archive which operates out of the Cheney Historical Museum and is composed of images of "unknown people, families, and groups." By making a public archive, they hope that visitors will be able to reconnect the people in the photos with their names and families so that their legacies live on with the remembrance they deserve. The overall goal of the archive is to breathe life into the photos of the forgotten and to give them a lasting legacy, even if that’s just as a part of the museum’s family.
