 “The arrival of Florida Memory’s online shopping cart marks a significant turning point for the program,” said Secretary of State Ken Detzner. “It is now easier than ever for users to bring Florida history into their homes or businesses and proudly display images that illustrate the diverse heritage and culture of this state. The addition of this feature exemplifies the Department of State’s commitment to providing high-quality customer service and further demonstrates Florida Memory’s role in providing public access to historically significant records.”
