Title

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. 

 

The Pflugerville History Diggers are dedicated to preserving Pflugerville's history for generations to come.  Their contribution is ongoing and they are truly worthy of this honor.
