Grant Overview
Ohio faces a significant barrier in preserving and promoting its industrial history, particularly with regard to women's contributions. The state's industrial heritage is diverse, with major industries ranging from steel production in Northeast Ohio to automotive manufacturing in the Toledo and Cleveland areas. However, women's roles in shaping this heritage are often underrepresented in historical narratives. This funding opportunity aims to address this gap by supporting historians who explore women's impacts on Ohio's industrial landscape. Ohio's 11.8 million residents depend on a strong industrial base, with manufacturing accounting for 14% of the state's GDP. Women comprise 46% of Ohio's manufacturing workforce, highlighting the importance of their contributions to the state's economy. By supporting research that highlights women's roles in Ohio's industrial history, this funding opportunity seeks to promote a more accurate understanding of the state's economic development. Unlike Michigan, Ohio's funding prioritizes projects that produce educational content for schools, with a focus on emphasizing women's contributions in various industrial sectors. Ohio's rural areas, such as Appalachian Ohio, face unique challenges in preserving industrial history, with limited access to resources and infrastructure. This funding opportunity is designed to support projects that address these challenges, with a focus on producing educational content that is relevant to Ohio's diverse communities. Awardees will be expected to collaborate with local historical societies, museums, and educational institutions across the state to develop curricula and exhibits that showcase women's roles in Ohio's industrial history. The state's extensive transportation network, including its major highways and waterways, provides opportunities for researchers to access archival records and conduct fieldwork across Ohio.
