Subject: [External] [SOA] Archives Month Poster: Call for Images 2026

This year for the annual Society of Ohio Archivists' October Archives Month poster we are looking for archival image submissions related to the theme "America 250: Unique Ohio." As we consider the 250th anniversary of the nation, how do archival collections across the state showcase the things that make Ohio unique?

Does your archive have images of iconic architecture? Do you have photos related to contributions made by Ohio's innovators and creators? Does your photographs collection include any depictions of "largest," "first," or "best" landmarks? Do you have photographs of signature events held in the state? All of these are examples for potential submissions!

If you are interested in participating, please submit your related images to Emily Rebmann at erebmann at oberlin.edu<mailto:erebmann at oberlin.edu> by Saturday, April 4, 2026.

Institutions can submit a maximum of three (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 entry between Monday, April 13, 2026 - Friday, May 1, 2026. We are hoping to receive submissions from across the state of Ohio. Entrants do not need to be members to submit images. If you know organizations with archival materials that would fit well with this year's theme, please share this call for photo submissions with them!

We look forward to your participation!

Thank You,

Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy & Outreach Committee
