Subject: [SOA] Reminder: Extension of deadline to submit images for Archives Month poster to Friday, June 5, 2020

The deadline for submitting images for this year's Ohio Archives Month poster has been extended to Friday, June 5, 2020.

We realize that due to the "Shelter in Place" order, many are working from home or may not be working at all at this time, so we understand that normal access to archival collections may be limited. If you are aware of archival materials in your collections that are related to the 2020 theme of the centennial commemoration of the ratification of the 19th Amendment and local efforts connected to the suffrage movement, but know you have limited ability to access those materials to submit images at this time, please let us know.

Details for how to submit images are below:
This year's theme for the annual Society of Ohio Archivists' October Archives Month poster is the centennial commemoration of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed and protected women's constitutional right to vote.  We invite you to submit photographs, documents, or other graphical materials from your institution to be featured on the poster that connect the stories of local women and supportive men who fought for the right to vote, and continued the fight for ALL women after the passage of the amendment. This is your chance to highlight interesting and thought-provoking items from your collections connected to the Suffrage Centennial.

If interested in participating, please submit your images to Melissa Dalton at mdalton at co.greene.oh.us<mailto:mdalton at co.greene.oh.us> by Friday, June 5, 2020. Institutions can submit a maximum of 3 images. Please ensure that the image quality is a minimum of 300 dpi, higher quality is encouraged. With your submission, please include a description of the image that explains its importance AND a brief one sentence caption that can be used on the poster if the image is selected.

SOA members will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite in June. Entrants do not need to be members to submit images.

We look forward to your participation!

Thank you,
