DESCRIPTION:The Library of Congress (LoC) in partnership with Eastern Oklah
 oma Library System opened “Memories in the Current” at the Muskogee Pu
 blic Library on May 16\, 2026. Inspired by the geography and storytellers 
 of Green Country\, the digital experience is designed for Northeastern Okl
 ahoma community members to reflect and connect with each other using histo
 rical voices from the Library of Congress archive. Library of Congress sta
 ff used community memories of the local waterways to identify almost 800 s
 imilar accounts from letters\, diaries\, oral histories\, and books of his
 toric figures from within the Library’s digital collections. “Memories
  in the Current” visitors can browse memory matches and submit their own
  to flow down a digital simulation of the Neosho\, Arkansas or Verdigris r
 ivers that intersect just to the north of Muskogee. Inspired by maps\, pho
 tographs and poetry from the area on loc.gov\, Eastern Oklahoma Public Lib
 rary system staff designed a custom exhibit of Library of Congress items t
 o accompany the projection-piece\, as well as a digital map of community-c
 ontributed photos from events and festivals around the area to celebrate t
 he diverse local culture. The Memories in the Current exhibit is open to t
 he public through May 2027. The exhibit is open Thursdays\, Fridays and Sa
 turdays.
