The State Historical Society of Missouri is developing a celebratory campaign in honor of Missouri’s Bicentennial in August, 2021.  They are doing many projects, including a new online Missouri Encyclopedia, educational events and a photo gallery.
To be comprehensive, the editorial team needs Missouri citizens to help. The Historical Society is asking all Missouri citizens: “Who are the people and what are the places and events that shaped your community, your county, and your region?” These stories can be told by sharing knowledge about the state, your experiences and favorite places, as well as information for the encyclopedia and using your photography skills for the gallery.
The “My Missouri 2021 Photograph Project” is collecting two hundred photographs that will be selected to be part of the permanent Missouri Bicentennial collection at the State Historical Society of Missouri. They will also be featured on an online gallery.
