Ohio History Central: An Online Encyclopedia of Ohio History

摘要

Students and researchers will find a plethora of information regarding Ohio's history at Ohio History Central web site. The site provides extensive primary and secondary resources concerning Ohio's natural history, state data, such as symbols and statistics, and historical events. The information is presented in encyclopaedia-like entries that are complemented with a sizeable multimedia collection. Newly added and edited information is directly accessible from the main page. New entries appear to be included on a monthly basis. Unlike its parent site Ohio History.org, which covers Ohio history and resources in a very broad sense, Ohio History Central serves as a "launching point for more serious research" providing direct, online access to the Ohio Historical Society's vast collection of resources. Ohio History Central's editorial board comprises staff members from the Ohio Historical Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to "helping people connect with Ohio's past... ", and Ohio State University.
