Welcome to the official blog of the Cedar Key Historical Society!
We are excited to provide our readers with regular website updates, more history, and event information. We also aim to bridge the gap between past and present through engaging interactive media like, photos, videos, and audio recordings that bring Cedar Key's history to life.
Oral Histories: are known as "the first kind of history.”
The Cedar Key Historical Society is proud to bring oral histories from cassette tapes in their archives to their website to be enjoyed online.
Many recordings are well over 40 years old and on cassette tape, which deteriorates over time. However, preserving and remastering to WAV.files for easy listening over modern/mobile devices provides an incredible opportunity to share these significant.
