[SOA] Archive Month Poster submissions requests

[Collette McDonough]

This year for the annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month poster we are looking for archival image submissions having to do with transportation in Ohio. Transportation has been important to Ohio since our founding.  So, if your institution has images that you think are interesting and that have an interesting back story, please send them to us for a chance to be on the poster this year.



We are of course expecting the photos of planes, trains, and automobiles but we hope to you send in all sorts of mode of transit such as canal boats, electric street cars, motorcycles, sternwheelers, horses pulling carts, or blimps.  You might also want to submit images of a local car factory, or patent drawing for an invention that involves transportation.




We hope to get submissions from all over the state. If interested in participating, please submit your related images to archivesaoohio at gmail.com<mailto:archivesaoohio at gmail.com> by Friday, April 3, 2023.




Institutions or individuals can submit a maximum of 3 images. Please ensure that the image quality is a minimum of 300 dpi; higher quality is encouraged. With your submission, please include a description of the image that explains its importance AND a brief one sentence caption that can be used on the poster if the image is selected.



SOA members will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite entry between

Friday, April 7, 2023- Friday, April 28, 2022. Entrants do not need to be members to submit images. If you know organizations with archival materials that would fit well with this year's theme, please share this info with them!



We look forward to your participation!



Thank You,



Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy and Outreach Committee
