A collaboration between the Clyde Public Library, 11 other Northwest Ohio libraries and the Ohio Historical Society will result in local historical photographs and documents becoming viewable to anyone digitally over the Internet.
Vicki Balemian, director of the Clyde Public Library, said that through the Ohio Historical Society's Ohio Memory Project hundreds of local historic photographs will be added into a statewide data base.
Funded through a state grant and local funds, the Clyde collection will be known as The Thaddeus B. Hurd Digital Archive.
Local adult services librarian Jill McCullough began scanning photographs into the database in December and now over 90 items in the state memory system.
