     Technology is forever changing the way our world interacts. It is even changing the way our history is viewed, researched, recorded, and shared. Whether it is from the comfort of your own home or some distant location, you can now research and share history anywhere in the world. Here in Columbus we have some new opportunities and resources for local information. Through an exciting partnership between WOSU Public Media and the Columbus Metropolitan Library, columbusneighborhoods.org was created for visitors to post pictures, video, and audio files that tell the history of your neighborhood, your friends, and family. Document the past, but don’t forget about today, because the pictures of today represent the archives of tomorrow!

Columbusmemory.org was created through a partnership of Columbus Metropolitan Library and The Columbus Historical Society. This site will be a first in making accessible unique and rare items from the archives of CHS and CML. Learn about our city’s history, research your unique topic, or loan items to be electronically preserved and shared.

Come hear about these sites and their unique functions and capabilities at the next Columbus Historical Society program on August 19th, 2010 at the Main Library auditorium.
