Event Description
We will cover some key points on how a library can provide local history services and programs to the community. We will look at the basics behind creating a local history program and tour the exhibits at the Cuyahoga Valley Historical Museum and visit the Roush Room for Local History at the Peninsula Library and Historical Society.
In the afternoon you will hear about the Cleveland Memory Project and the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture Inventory. Crowd-sourcing local history in NE Ohio is possible through the Cleveland Memory Project and the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture Inventory. Area libraries have utilized Cleveland Memory’s platform to mount their own photographs and other materials on-line, while the OOSI identifies the sculptures, statues and monuments of Ohio’s cities and towns with the help of local volunteers. Bill Barrow, Head of Special Collections at the CSU Library (Cleveland Memory’s home) and Chair of the Preservation Committee of The Sculpture Center (OOSI’s home), will profile some of those community partnerships and tell how local public libraries and individuals could participate.
