DELAWARE COUNTY AND VICINITY ARCHIVES CRAWL 2017

October is American Archives Month – an opportunity to raise awareness about the value of archives. Delaware County, Ohio area repositories are sponsoring a month long October Archives Crawl event. Each of the host repositories has its own unique collection full of interesting pieces of local history. Take this opportunity to visit some of these repositories and learn about the information they preserve.

The goal of the Archives Crawl is to visit as many of the participating repositories as possible during the month of October and have each of them stamp your passport. Be sure to visit the Delaware County Records Center website and/or social media page for more details. Crawlers who visit at least five participating repositories could win a gift bag of items donated by each repository.

Passports can be obtained at all of the participating repositories except for the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial starting October 1, 2017. Passports will be due November 1, 2017 by 8:30am to determine gift bag winners.
