Description: The Constitution of the state of Ohio, shown here, was approved by a vote of 125,564 to 109,276 and went into effect on September 1, 1851. The 1851 Constitution is 31 pages and measures 13" x 21" (33 x 53.34 cm). Overwhelming support for amending the Ohio Constitution led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention in 1849. The convention met in Columbus in 1850, but was forced to adjourn and reconvene in Cincinnati due to the cholera epidemic in Columbus. When they met, the delegates made significant changes to the 1802 Constitution. For example, the 1802 Constitution declared that Supreme Court judges had to hold one session per year in every county in the state. In 1851 the number of judges increased to five and district courts were created. The 1851 Constitution also provided that government officials, including judges, would be elected by popular vote rather than appointed by the legislature. In addition, a provision to call a Constitutional Convention in 1871 and every twenty years thereafter was adopted. Despite the efforts of many social reformers, the Constitution did not grant the right to vote to African Americans or women. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Highland County Courthouse is said to be the oldest Ohio structure that has been continually used as a courthouse. Completed in 1835 by architect Pleasant Arthur, the building combines Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements with its Federal fanlight and Greek entablature and columns. The blending of architectural styles is common in Ohio county courthouses as a result of the self education of local contractors in stylish European designs. These are the front and side facades of the building. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing an American soldier with a young Shiite refugee during the first Gulf War, 1991. This photograph comes from the Rodger Cuccio Collection. Cuccio was a member of the 356th Tactical Airlift Squadron stationed at Rickenbacker Air Force Base near Columbus. His unit, along with four others, was attached to the 907th Tactical Airlift Group, U.S. Airforce Reserve. This squadron, made up of over 250 servicemen and women, served in the Gulf War from January to June of 1991. While in Kuwait, Cuccio’s unit flew over 2,000 sorties, hauled over 4,400 tons of cargo and moved more than 13,000 people during Operation Desert Storm. Additional missions of the 907th squadron included resupplying Kuwait City after its liberation, redeployment of troops from Iraq to Saudi Arabia following the signing of the United Nations peace treaty, and evacuation of Shiite Muslims from southern Iraq. The men and women of the 907th Tactical Airlift Group returned to Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts on June 14, 1991, after 141 days overseas. Other photographs in the Cuccio Collection depict camp life for U.S. soldiers, old artillery and military aircraft, Kuwaiti refugees, and Kuwait City and the surrounding areas. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This is a photograph of three working men seated on rocks. Caption reads: "Juna Bauer Grantsville." 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 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 Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the side and front facades of the Old Mississippi State Capitol. This is an example of Greek Revival architecture. The building served as the capitol building from 1839 to 1903 and was restored in 1959-1960. It is a national historical landmark, currently housing the Mississippi State Historical Museum, and is also known as the Old Capitol Museum or the Old State Capitol. In 1890, this was the site of the enactment of a system of disenfranchisement of blacks by the State Constitution, after which other southern states modeled their own systems. View on Ohio Memory.
