The mission of Martin Digital History (MDH) is to encourage the appreciation of Martin County’s unique history by collaborating with community members and local organizations to collect, present, and interpret relevant digital content. This digital community archive, orchestrated by the Martin County Library System, is the result of the planning teamwork of several far-sighted community members and organizations, including Sandra Thurlow, Historical Society of Martin County, Black Heritage Initiative, Stuart Heritage, and others. MDH has made almost 7,000 items available, including photographs, fishing guides, memorial service programs, school board minutes, and more available online at martindigitalhistory.org.

The Camp Murphy collection is an artificial collection featuring photos taken by soldier Robert Maertz, the 1943 yearbook, issues of The Messenger (Camp Murphy newsletter), a color photocopy of Lillian Rudd Davisworth's scrapbook, and ephemera, contributed by Historical Society of Martin County. Camp Murphy was a secret radar training program located in what is now Jonathan Dickinson State Park from 1942 to 1944.
