Digital History at ONU is a new program that we began working on last spring. So far, students have worked to preserve interview projects created by Dr. Jimmy Wilson’s Historical Geography classes, oral history projects conducted by Professor Ray Schuck’s Public History/Museum Studies classes, and are working on preserving a ethnographic study of the Hungarian community in Toledo. In addition to those preservation efforts, ONU’s foray into the digital began with a page published by Emily Mohr on the subject of the Hampden Park Blood Bath, an 1894 football game between Harvard and Yale. Reports on the violence of the game was completely blown out of proportion by the national press.
Russ Crawford, Associate Professor of History at ONU will teach the first class in digital history in the spring of 2017. Projects will continue during the class as well as new projects concerning the history of ONU.
