Missouri Valley Special Collections staff have been hard at work adding new content to KCHistory. Below, you will find a list of newly digitized objects added to the site during the month of July.

Notable additions include a collection of 77 color slides capturing life on the Country Club Plaza in the early-1980s, and 157 images from our St. Mary’s Episcopal Church collection that document the history of one of Kansas City’s oldest churches.
