Bill > HJR0764

This resolution, passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Tennessee General Assembly, honors and commends Clara Parker of Giles County for her forty years of dedicated service to preserving the county's historical records. It highlights her co-founding of the Giles County Archives in 1986, a pioneering rural archive in Tennessee, and details her meticulous work in cleaning, cataloging, and organizing thousands of historical materials, assisting with genealogical research, and authoring significant historical works like the Giles County Cemetery Book, which uncovered Civil War-era historical insights. The resolution also acknowledges her efforts in strengthening archival preservation through partnerships and advocating for best practices, her co-authorship of published works, and her role in fostering community engagement by mentoring volunteers and interns, all of which have significantly contributed to the cultural heritage of Tennessee.
