<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Celebrate Ohio’s Citizen Archivists!<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board Citizen Archivist Award honors volunteers in Ohio’s archives who work long hours answering reference requests, processing collections, and indexing historic records. This award recognizes a volunteer
in an Ohio archive who best exemplifies the dedication and hard work volunteers—our citizen archivists—contribute to Ohio’s archives each day. After all that has happened in the past year, we have once again been reminded of all that our volunteers do for
us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All Ohio institutions responsible for archival records that provide free public access to at least a portion of their collections are eligible. Preference will be given to volunteers whose work increases access to archival collections in
Ohio. OHRAB will accept nominations from Ohio archival institutions as well as the general public. See the attached announcement for nomination details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Nominations are due September 17, 2021.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
