Irene DeLaby Award - 10,000 Hours Served
John has contributed his time, enthusiasm and skill to cataloging, digitizing and sharing the archival records of 20-plus Florida state parks. He created an index of searchable copies of early newspaper press books, making thousands of scanned images easy to research.
