[SOA] Last call for photos for the poster!

[Collette McDonough]

For this year’s annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month,

the theme will be   *“O-H-I-Olympics: Competitors from the Buckeye State.”*

In conjunction with the 2024 summer Olympics, we want to highlight Ohio

connections to Olympic competitions.



We are looking for archival images not only related to the summer and

winter international Olympic Games, but also those connected to the

Paralympic Games and to the Special Olympics. These can be images connected

with people who competed in the games, even if they *didn’t* bring home the

gold (or any medal)! We’re also looking for images connected to trainers,

coaches, and spectators. If you have photos of a local group that had an event that was themed to the Olympics, you can send that too. If your institution has archival images with an

intriguing backstory, please submit them for a chance to be featured in the

poster this year.



We are hoping to receive submissions from across the state of Ohio. *If

interested in participating, please submit your related images to the

Advocacy and Outreach Committee at archivesaoohio at gmail.com<https://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/ohioarchivists>

<archivesaoohio at gmail.com<https://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/ohioarchivists>> by Friday, April 5, 2024.*



*Institutions or individuals can submit a maximum of three (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 entries

between Monday, April 8 and Friday, April 26, 2024.* Entrants do NOT need

to be members to submit images. If you know of organizations with archival

materials that would fit with this year’s theme, please share this

information with them!



We look forward to your participation!



Thank You,



Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy and Outreach Committee
