[SOA] 1913 Flood commemoration efforts - article for the Ohio Archivist newsletter

[Rickey, Lisa Pasquinelli]

Hello, all,

I am seeking input for an article I will be writing for the spring issue of the Ohio Archivist, the bi-annual newsletter of the Society of Ohio Archivists. This March marks the 100th anniversary of the 1913 flood, one of the most devastating in Ohio's history.  It is especially well-known for the devastation it caused here in Dayton, but the state-wide disaster affected many other parts of Ohio as well.

I would like to know what archives throughout the state are doing to commemorate the flood. Are you doing special exhibits, presentations, oral history projects, community engagement activities, partnerships with other organizations, etc.?

Please contact me directly (off-list), and feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested.

Thank you in advance to anyone who would like to share!

Lisa Rickey
