[Nicole Sutton]

Hello, OhioDIGers!

Recently at the library, I provided help to someone from the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware. In 2019, their organization received a donation of several thousands of reels of films, as well as scripts and photographs from Cinecraft, a Cleveland-based production company, and they are in the process of digitizing them for their digital collections.

If you are interested, check out the collection here<https://digital.hagley.org/2019227> (https://digital.hagley.org/2019227).

Cinecraft specializes in commercial productions for business, industry, trade organizations, and, in some cases, government agencies and social service organizations.
