Description: Dated ca. 1935-1940, this photograph shows cattails growing along the Ohio River. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This color image is a view of the side exterior of Kirtland Temple, Kirtland, Ohio, ca. 1960-1969. The three-story structure is built primarily of sandstone stuccoed with plaster. It has a steeple topped by a cupola. Five gable windows are located on the roof. Kirtland Temple was built by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1833 and 1836. Kirtland Temple achieved National Historic Landmark status in 1976. Dedicated in 1836, Kirtland Temple was the spiritual center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or Mormons) until the majority of Mormons there left in 1838 to follow founder Joseph Smith, Jr., westward to Missouri, Illinois, and eventually, Utah. Kirtland had been the principal administrative headquarters of the Church and the major base for directing missionary work from 1831 until early 1838. Internal dissension and external persecution arose largely from the distinctive features of the religion and weakened the Mormon community in Kirtland. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of two employees of the B.F. Goodrich Company at work, Akron, Ohio, ca. 1930-1950. Founded by Benjamin Franklin Goodrich in 1871, the company helped make Akron the "Rubber Capital of the World" during the late 1800s. The original plant in Akron made numerous items but focused on fire hoses that would not burst under pressure. With the development of the automobile and the pneumatic tire, demands for tires skyrocketed and the business flourished. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The only state flag based on heraldry, its design is the banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore adopted in 1904. The Maryland colony was founded by Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore. The black and gold portion was taken from the shield of the Calvert family coat of arms (his paternal line). The red and white cross bottony is the coat of arms of the Crossland family (his maternal line). During the Civil War there was bitter debate over which of the two would be flown in battle. After the war the two motifs merged to alternate in quarters on a rectangular field. Maker's mark indicates it was manufactured by the Dettras Flag Company. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This 17 page booklet contains the text of Governor Robert Lucas’ message to the 34th General Assembly of Ohio on Dec. 7, 1835. Lucas (1781-1853), Ohio’s first Democratic governor, held the position from 1832 to 1836. During his second term, Lucas was pivotal in the Toledo War, which resulted from a dispute between Ohio and the Michigan territory regarding a strip of land near the Maumee River significant for economic and transportation reasons. Lucas mobilized the Ohio militia to face off against the Michigan troops at the border, but there was little interaction between them. President Jackson ultimately intervened to settle the dispute in Ohio’s favor. Lucas also served as chairman of the first Democratic national convention and the first governor of the newly established Iowa territory. View on Ohio Memory.
