Worthington Memory
Description
Worthington Libraries and the Worthington Historical Society in Ohio have partnered to build Worthington Memory. The goal of this collaborative program is to collect and preserve local history materials through the creation of a digital library, providing greater access to and enhanced public awareness of Worthington, Ohio's rich history.
Worthington Memory includes digital images of historic artifacts, documents and photographs, a searchable online index to local 19th and 20th century newspapers, a cemeteries database, a timeline of Worthington history, a collection of oral histories, and photographic documentation of Worthington's bicentennial year (2003).
Providing remote access to materials through the Internet makes heavily used, non-circulating library and archives materials more accessible while reducing the amount of physical handling they would normally endure. This site also brings attention to materials that traditionally receive less use because they are in special or private collections, or are very fragile. The community is invited to share their own local history treasures, which will be scanned and included on the Worthington Memory Web site.
