[SOA] Archives Month Poster: Call for Images 2026

[Emily Rebmann]

This year for the annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month
poster we are looking for archival image submissions related to the theme
"America 250: Unique Ohio." As we consider the 250th anniversary of the
nation, how do archival collections across the state showcase the things
that make Ohio unique?

Does your archive have images of iconic architecture? Do you have photos
related to contributions made by Ohio's innovators and creators? Does your
photographs collection include any depictions of "largest," "first," or
"best" landmarks? Do you have photographs of signature events held in the
state? All of these are examples for potential submissions!

If you are interested in participating, please submit your related images
to Emily Rebmann at erebmann at oberlin.edu by* Saturday, April 4, 2026.*

Institutions 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 entry
between Monday, April 13, 2026 - Friday, May 1, 2026. We are hoping to
receive submissions from across the state of Ohio. *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
call for photo submissions with them!

We look forward to your participation!

Thank You,
