Description: This photograph, from a year book dated from 1940, shows the Brilliant High School marching band standing outside. The tuba player in the center of the back row has been identified as James R. (Bob) Gilchrist. Brilliant High School was located at 2nd Street in Brilliant, Ohio, in Jefferson County, Ohio. In 1952, a new building was opened at 1004 3rd Street. In 1972, Brilliant High School merged with Smithfield High School, to become Buckeye North High School. Finally, in 1990, the three schools in the district merged together to form the Buckeye Local High School in Rayland, Ohio. 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: Photograph of a red plastic helmet known as an "Energy Dome," dating from the 1980s. This style of hat was worn by members of the band Devo during their stage and video performances beginning in 1980, and the helmets were originally designed by band members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale. Devo is a band that formed in 1973 in Akron, Ohio, after the members met at Kent State University. The name "Devo" comes from "devolution," the idea that man is devolving as time passes. The band first performed in 1973 at a Kent State University performing arts festival and quickly built a following in the Akron area. They reached #14 on the Billboard Chart in 1980 with their song "Whip It!" and have had a devoted following ever since. They continue to release music and tour, though many of their original members have moved on to other projects. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph taken for the Columbus Free Press showing a musical group called "Chaotic Good" performing during the opening of the HAADCO Global Store on October 20 (year unknown). The acoustic trio plays a guitar, bowed psaltery and percussion instruments. The Columbus Free Press began as a bi-weekly publication in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. An underground newspaper, it replaced the Ohio State University publication The People, Yes. The earliest known issue of the newspaper appeared on January 4, 1971. The newspaper underwent a series of name changes over the decades, with titles including the Columbus Free Press & Cowtown Times (1972-1976), the Columbus Freepress (1976-1992) and The Free Press (1992-1995). The paper, which covered many liberal and progressive causes, was an alternative to mainstream news sources in central Ohio with the slogan “The Other Side of the News.” In 1995, the paper ceased publication briefly before reemerging as a website in early 1996, and returning as a print publication under the Free Press title in the form of a quarterly journal in 1998. Published under various frequencies during the first part of the 21st century, the Free Press again became a nonprofit monthly publication in 2017 with both a print and web presence, published by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism and operated by a volunteer staff and board.
