Check out the latest entry on Cyrus Forwood’s blog!

This is a really fantastic use of social media in archives.  I love any new way to make history engaging and accessible!  What do you think about the use of social media in education?

These drafts of brochures are yet another treasure from the vast collection of Ms. Imhoff.  We are humbled here by how outstanding this collection is.

Facial Hair Friday!

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Cincinnati State Archives

It’s a gorgeous day outside! I’m so devoted to bringing you these posts that I am here in my basement lair, getting paler by the minute, while you enjoy Facebook from your sunny porches (or so I imagine). The question for you today friends, is: Can you tell me what is wrong with this photo? And no, it isn’t his modest ‘stache! Look closer. It happens sometimes when scanning slides or negatives…Well, happy Friday and get out there this weekend! We have the first Indie Summer show of the year on Fountain Square tonight (free!) and Cincy Flea on Saturday (fun!).

Live-blogging the Civil War (sort of)

This is a terrific use of social media for teaching from archives. Are there any history teachers in the room? Do you ever use primary source materials in your lessons?

Advertising!

Thought I would share this ad for CCST, ca. 1968, today.  We have a really fantastic collection of advertisements in the archives.  They date back to 1966 and are in a variety of formats–film, audio reels, cassettes, print, video, Oh my!

All aboard!

Welcome new friends!
This day in 1869 the Transcontinental Railroad was completed.  To celebrate, why don’t you take a listen to this radio ad from 2000 promoting Railroad Conductor Training at Cincinnati State. (Come on! I can’t be the only one celebrating this…can I?) Here in the archives we have a great audio collection which includes advertising from the 70s to the present.
