late 1960s to the early 1980s. The photographs were donated to the KAC. Most of the images were used for the
<i>Call and Post</i> newspaper. Images that show community events such as the Star Lite Cotillion, basketball tournaments, and community performances bring alive what it was like for African Americans living in Columbus during this time. The Metadata Mini-Grant

Wright Brothers Collection</a> at Wright State University Libraries is one of the most complete collections of Wright Brothers material in the world. The more than 2,000 photographs in the collection document the invention of the airplane and the lives of the
Wright Family, and they are among the most requested items in our holdings. The images are requested by scholars, school age children, publishers and authors, documentarians and producers, and those simply inspired by the story of two brothers from Dayton,
Ohio, who had a dream and changed the world. The Metadata Mini-Grant award will be used to prepare metadata for ODN and DPLA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
