The Captiva Island Historical Society (CIHS) extends its deepest gratitude to Queenie Viglione Jensen as she concludes more than 15 years of extraordinary service. <\/p>\n
As CIHS\u2019s original board assistant and its founding \u2014 and only \u2014 archivist Jensen has played an essential role in the organization\u2019s growth. While helping preserve Captiva\u2019s history, she also helped transform how that history is shared, contributing significantly to CIHS\u2019s evolution into the multifaceted historical resource it is today. <\/p>\n
Under Jensen\u2019s stewardship, CIHS\u2019s online archives have grown to include more than 14,000 digitized items, including family letters, newspaper articles, photographs, postcards and audio recordings. This extensive and easily accessible collection serves researches, writers, historians, and the public, providing invaluable access to the people, places, and stories that comprise Captiva\u2019s rich and colorful history. <\/p>\n
Beyond her work as archivist, Jensen has played an integral role in the inspiration, planning, and presentation of the innovative programs for which CIHS has become widely known. Her creativity, historical knowledge, and deep connection to Captiva have enriched the experiences we share with the island community and audiences well beyond it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queenie Viglione Jensen.
