[SOA] Wales-Ohio Project: Digitizing the archive of the Welsh in Ohio

I just ran across this from the National Library of Wales--looks interesting.

The Wales-Ohio Project: Digitizing the archive of the Welsh in Ohio

The goal of the Wales-Ohio Project (http://ohio.llgc.org.uk/) is to 
digitize a selection of Welsh Americana relating to the state of Ohio held 
at The National Library of Wales and to make them available to audiences 
world-wide via this website.

The Digital Library section displays approximately 5,000 digital images of 
archive and manuscript material, printed material, maps and photographs. 
Each digital item is accompanied by specially prepared interpretative text 
to place them in context.

This unique website is a valuable resource for anyone interested in 
Welsh-American history and culture including:
• genealogists
• local historians
• students of all ages
• scholars

It also celebrates and strengthens the bonds that exist between Wales, Ohio 
and the United States.
