There are 34 gold-painted stars arranged in a grid pattern (four rows of seven stars and a fifth row of sixstars) on a blue canton. The flag has thirteen alternating red and white stripes and gold fringe on its top, right, and bottom sides. Text on the flag's middle red stripe reads: "21ST. REGT. O.V.I.U.S.A." The dimensions of the flag are 193 by 191 cm. Ohio battle flags were on display at the Ohio Statehouse until the 1960s, when the state formed a committee to oversee the efforts to restore the fragile flags. Some of the battle flags were on display on the Plaza Level of the Ohio Historical Society from 1970 until 1989. For conservation reasons, the flags have been in storage since 1989. In the 1960s, the collection was photographed and commercial artist Robert Needham painted illustrations of many Civil War flags. Photographs of the flags and the paintings are now part of the society's archival collections. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads: “S. N. Brown & Co. –Carriage factory. Scene from Fifth Street Bridge, Dayton, Ohio. October 22, 1904.” Ohio underwent tremendous change in the late nineteenth century. While Ohio had boasted one of the most diverse economies in the United States of America before the Civil War, agriculture still dominated. During the late 1800s, industrialization erupted in the state. Thousands of people moved into Ohio's cities, seeking jobs in the new industries. These people included former residents of Ohio's rural communities, people from within the United States, and also foreigners. Ohio's population grew quickly, from just over 2.3 million residents in 1860 to approximately 4.2 million people. The state's cities swelled, initially causing numerous problems for local governments as they tried to meet the needs of the new residents. Dayton was heavily involved in Ohio's early industrialization. By the late 1800s, the community had become the center of many types of industry, including publishing businesses and a number of companies who manufactured farm implements . View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Portrait that appears to show a newly-married husband and wife. Both are wearing their wedding attire, posed in a barnyard with a white picket fence in the background. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio History Center. View on Ohio Memory.
