Congratulation Anna and thanks for the information. We definitely want to
be part of the Ohio Genealogical Society meeting at Great Wolf Lodge and
the webinars sound like something we'd find very helpful.

Subject: [mhsgreatercinci] some news of interest for the group
Hello everyone!
As a bit of news for all the member institutions/groups. I was recently
elected to the Ohio Library Council Subject and Special Collections Division
and in a year, I'll be starting a 3-year cycle of being some form of their
coordinator (chair). We had a leadership meeting last Friday in Columbus.
And, I brought up the existence of MHS (and of course the myriad of other
historical societies and whatnot across the state and region) as a natural
partner or interested parties in what OLC SSCD does - for example, they have
webinars (they cost, but are pretty inexpensive) and workshops, etc., that
are available to non-OLC members, and which we could avail ourselves -
upcoming topics include caring for historic property, creating a nomination
for the national Register of Historic Places, and researching your home's
history, plus something on scrapbooks and memory books.
Additionally, they will (likely) be participating in the Ohio Genealogical
Society meeting this year, which is in the spring in Cincinnati (Great Wolf
Lodge). And, I found out that non-profit groups can vend there for all of
$50. I'll try to find out a deadline on that. It's something we might
think of investing in - an activity to do, where we just have to show up.
Nonetheless, SSCD is interested in forging stronger relationships with
non-library institutions who carry on similar missions - caring for historic
materials and papers, etc., providing education, public programming, and on
and on. I would certainly like to promote that idea.
That said, they are also soliciting nominations for two upcoming open spots
on the committee. You have to belong to OLC, be an employee or something
similar at a like-minded institution, and it's a two-year commitment. If
anyone is interested, let me know. They're really looking for a
south-eastern person, but I'm the only south-western rep - everyone else is
north or central.
At any rate, if you all are interested in promoting this relationship, I
think we should talk about it at the January meeting and see what we'd like
to get out of it.
Something to think about.
Otherwise, hope some of us can make it to the observatory Monday evening.
Have a happy thanksgiving, and see you all after the holidays.
Best,
Anna
