<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For this year’s annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month, the theme will be
<i>“Ohio-Born Companies.”</i> Ohio has a rich history of entrepreneurship, industry, and ingenuity, which we want to highlight through this poster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are looking for archival images related to Ohio-born companies that have impacted locally, statewide, or nationally; they can relate to corporations, small businesses, or other Ohio-based businesses. Some
examples include construction workers building the company’s headquarters, workers working in an office or other environment, showcases of products made by the company, etc. If your institution has archival images with an intriguing backstory, please submit
them for a chance to be featured in the poster this year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
