<p class="MsoNormal">The committee invited repositories and institutions across Ohio to submit photographs, documents, or other graphical materials that demonstrated a connection to the theme to be featured on the SOA Archives Month poster. The community sent
submissions--from fifteen institutions for a total of 38 photographs and documents! Thank you to all the participants!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After compiling the submissions, eleven images were selected as winners through community online voting. The winning images provided great material for the designers, however not all of the winners could be featured on the poster. See
the winning images from Bowling Green State University Music Library and Bill Schurk Sound Archives; National Museum of the United States Air Force; Ohio State University, Ohio Congressional Archives; Shelby County Historical Society; University of Akron,
University Libraries, Archival Services; and Wright State University Libraries Special Collections and Archives at

<p class="MsoNormal">In 2017 SOA began compiling information about Ohio archival repositories to put together a statewide passport broken down by region. Each year we collected updates and new entries, and the 2019 passport includes information for more than
90 sites across the state! The purpose of this passport is to let people know about the wonderful archival resources all around Ohio, give them a chance to visit, explore, and learn more and participate in activities that help them to connect with their past,
local history, and their community. More info and download the PDF from <a href="https://ohioarchivists.org/ohio-archives-passport-2019-is-here/">
