aking Progress: Living and Working in Ohio's Miami Valley,
1890-1929 is a three year digital exhibit project exploring
the region in the Progressive Era.
See our newsreel, visit “The Good Life” gallery and then
share your own reflections, stories of the Miami Valley and images
through “Your Stories,” our online forum. Come back for
new stories and for the new virtual galleries, slated for addition
between the fall of 2004 and the winter of 2006:
- “Getting Around” tours the Miami Valley at the turn
of the last century
- “Where I Live” visits an activity filled gallery for
children and families
- “Grand Plans” will introduce the philanthropists,
inventors, reformers and ordinary people who transformed the Miami
Valley and the nation
- “Miami Valley Scrapbook” is a gallery designed from
contributions to our online forum, oral histories and workshops
on local history
Wright State University history students
and faculty are developing the project in collaboration with the Montgomery
County Historical Society, Wright State University Special Collections
and Archives, Central State University Archives, National Afro American
Museum and Cultural Center, and the Wright State University Center
for Teaching and Learning.
This project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities,
Wright State University and the Montgomery County Historical Society.
