Presentation of the Texas Historical Commission Award of Merit to the Pflugerville Diggers for Accomplishing a Significant Preservation Milestone for Local History in the Pflugerville Community.
Summary
Ms. Jennifer Coffey, Pflugerville Library Director, nominated the Pflugerville History Diggers for this award. The Diggers are: Ms. Vernagene H. Mott, Ms. Pamela A. Stephenson, Ms. Audrey T. Dearing, and Ms. Lois G. Shrout.
The Pflugerville History Diggers have written two books: Pflugerville: Another Time, Another Place in 2009, and Images of America: Pflugerville in 2014. They also collaborated with the Heritage House Partners and the Friends of the Pflugerville Library on Pflugerville: A Heritage to Remember in 2008. They have been a very important part of the library digital history project by donating their families' photographs and historic documents while encouraging others to do the same.
