The Truban Archives invites you to kick off Shenandoah County's 250th Anniversary Year by participating in our Sounds of the County soundscape recording project on Monday, January 3 2022. 

This initiative is designed to capture recordings of what Shenandoah County sounds like so future generations can not only read about and see the history of the county, they can hear it as well. 

Individuals are invited to capture a brief audio recording from somewhere in Shenandoah County at 1:00PM on Monday January 3rd and then submit that recording, along with an information and release form, to the archives for preservation as part of our collection. 

More details and the information/release form are available here
