State Library and Archives honored

NASHVILLE (AP) - The Department of State's Tennessee State Library and Archives division has been honored by the Tennessee Supreme Court Historical Society.
The library and archives were commended for their ongoing work on a Tennessee Supreme Court record preservation project.
This involves preserving, archiving and cataloging historical records of Tennessee Supreme Court cases going back to 1796. Those records were stored in the upper floors of the Capitol before eventually being moved across the street to the State Library and Archives.
Since the project began in January 2008, a 20-person staff has cleaned, refiled and entered into a computer database some 9,700 Supreme Court records.
