Black Swamp
Memories is an online scrapbook of historical images and documents
illustrating the history and development of the northwestern Ohio
region formerly known as the Great Black Swamp. The goal of the
project is to, in time, provide a comprehensive and illustrative
collection of photographs and documents that “tell the story”
of the history of our region.
The first phase of the project is to build a collection of photographs
documenting the Oil and Gas Boom that took place in northwestern
Ohio from the late 1800s through the early 1900s and which brought
about dramatic changes to the landscape, economy, towns, and people
of the region.
Black Swamp Memories is a service of the Wood
County District Public Library in partnership with the:
Black Swamp Memories is supported in part by federal Institute
of Museum and Library Services LSTA funds, granted through
the State Library of Ohio
. For more information about the project, you can read our grant
proposal.
