Description: This is a photograph of a guidon of the 6th Independent Battery, Ohio Veteran Volunteer Light Artillery. 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: An image of the Glass Door Oven Plant in Cincinnati, Ohio. This plant, and the ovens it produced were started by E.H. Huenefeld. Huenefeld made a significant technological advancement in making his then unique glass door oven. He came up with a novel way to allow his ovens to have a glass door that would be easy to see through even in the middle of cooking, and was sure not to crack from the stress that it was put through. This oven was considered to be a huge advancement in both manufacturing and general convenience for home owners. Suddenly owners could simply look into their ovens without any need to do anything but that. In addition to the ovens, Huenefeld's successful company was also involved in producing a number of other appliances. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Handwritten and sketched broadside for the Xenia Springs and Tawawa House Resort, located on US 42 three miles from Xenia, Ohio. The land once occupied the Tawawa Springs health resort is now home to Wilberforce University. Xenia Springs was established in 1851 due to the presence of mineral springs, which were used as a "water cure" (or "hydropathy") for guests seeking the waters' medicinal and therapeutic qualities. The three-story wooden Tawawa House opened in June of that year with Dr. Samuel Silsbee, a Cincinnati skin specialist, as its superintendent. After several years, the property was sold in October 1855, and Tawawa House became the main building for the fledgling Wilberforce University. It lasted only a decade in its new role, burning down in 1865. While it was rebuilt on the same foundations, Wilberforce eventually relocated to new buildings to the south. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of a baby sitting on a chair with a dog. 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.
