Today's Challenge
Yesterday we explored the Florida Memory Project. Today we will explore the Ohio Memory (https://ohiomemory.org/) website. Many states have their own version of this site with a variety of great resources that you won’t find anywhere else.
Hints
You will have to go back to the home page and select a new topic for each question. Take some time to explore the “Collections” area to see what is available.
Question #1. On the Ohio Memory website select the Browse Subjects button. You should have an alphabet list, go to Z and select Zane’s Trace. Who was Zane’s Trace named after?
Question #2. Go back to the home page and select Browse Places. Click on M and then select Minster. What is the name of the canal that went through Minster, Ohio?
Question #3. Go back to the homepage and select Browse Time Periods. Click on 1850s. What was the name of the person who wrote a poem in support of women’s suffrage?
Question #4. On the home page enter the name Bielefeld in the search bar. Select the Times-Democrat (Lima) from 1909. What happened to Mr. Bielefeld?
Question #5. The Ohio Memory website is celebrating what anniversary this year?
Bonus Question (optional). On the home page select collections. Find the “Ohio Canal Plat Map Collection” then find “Miami and Erie Canal past Fort Loramie plat map”. Explore the map and list the name of the sawmill?
Comments. What did you think of this task? Was it too easy? Too difficult? Just right? Did you have fun exploring the Ohio Memory website?
