Archaeology library at Page Hall   Save
Ohio History Connection Archives/Library
Description: Photograph of the library of the Archaeology Department of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society when it was housed in Page Hall on the Ohio State University campus, 1910. Visible on the far wall is a poster for the annual Ohio State-Michigan football game. Formed in 1885 as the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, the organization eventually became known as the Ohio Historical Society and is now called the Ohio History Connection. Originally the society’s collections were held at the Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus, but in 1894, they were moved to Orton Hall on the Ohio State campus. The organization and its museum remained on campus, housed first in Page Hall and then in Sullivant Hall, until 1970, when they moved to their present location adjacent to the Ohio State Fairgrounds. As of 2014, Page Hall is home to the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. View on Ohio Memory.
