Grant Overview
Ohio's digital heritage projects aim to preserve local histories in underserved areas, targeting the 1.2 million residents living in communities with limited access to digital resources. The state's initiative focuses on documenting community stories through audio and video recordings, with a target of collecting 5,000 stories within the next two years. Success will be measured by community involvement and the number of stories preserved. Ohio's diverse regions, from Appalachian Ohio to the Lake Erie shoreline, offer a rich tapestry of local histories waiting to be documented. The funding will support community members and students in preserving their stories, with a particular emphasis on previously underrepresented communities. Unlike Michigan, Ohio requires a strong community engagement component, ensuring that projects are driven by local needs and priorities. Ohio's major industries, including manufacturing and agriculture, have shaped the state's history and will be reflected in the stories collected. The state's infrastructure, including its network of public libraries and community centers, will serve as hubs for digital heritage projects. With 23% of Ohio's population living below the poverty line, initiatives that can demonstrate tangible community benefits will be prioritized. The funding will support equipment acquisition, training, and project staffing necessary to launch successful digital heritage projects. By preserving local histories, Ohio aims to promote cultural understanding and community pride among its residents.
