THE OHIO HISTORY CONFERENCE

THE OHIO HISTORY CONFERENCE

 

In order to formally launch the new and enlarged

program of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical

Society, particularly as it concerns local and county his-

torical societies, colleges and universities and juvenile

interests, a state-wide Conference was called for Friday,

February 7, to which all members of the Society and all

others interested were invited. Special invitations were

extended to all the local historical societies in the state

and to the colleges and universities of the state which

have shown an interest in the work. The Conference

was planned primarily as a symposium. Dr. Benjamin

F. Shambaugh, Superintendent of the State Historical

Society of Iowa, a man of broad and successful exper-

ience in state and local Historical Society work, was

secured as the principal speaker to open the discussion.

The attendance was very representative of the State as

a whole. Four state-wide organizations and commis-

sions interested in the history of the State were officially

represented, as were ten of the local historical societies

and nine of the colleges and universities of the state.

Many expressed themselves as favoring an annual

conference on Ohio history and historical interests, and

plans are being made for a similar conference next year.

In order to make available the proceedings of this

Conference to the members of the State Society who

could not be present, and to other interested persons, it

was deemed expedient to publish the afternoon's pro-
