March-April 2019 Volume 35 Issue 2 March|April 2019 Ohio History Fund grant recipients Year 7, 2018-2019 This years’ Ohio History Fund grant recipients. At Statehood Day 2019 on February 27, the Ohio History Connection announced 10 new grant recipients and awards totaling $90,000 (Photo courtesy Ohio History Connection) By Andy Verhoff, Coordinator, Ohio History Fund, Local History Services WHAT’S INSIDE: he Ohio History Connection announced at Statehood Day on February 2 President’s Message 27 the recipients of $90,000 in grants from the Ohio History Fund. The History Fund is a competitive matching grant program administered 4 Ohio History Fund (con't) by the Ohio History Connection’s Local History Services department. TMoney for the grants comes from you, who support the program in three ways: by 5 Giving Voice to History donating a portion of your state income tax refund to the Ohio History Fund (the “tax check-off”), by purchasing Ohio History “mastodon” license plates, and by making 6 Grant Program Funds Signage donations to the Ohio History Connection designated to “Ohio History Fund.” Your donation of a part of your Ohio tax refund is the lifeblood of the program. 10 People In The News Most of the money the Ohio History Fund grants comes though the tax check-off, and most of that is generated during tax season, ending for many with the filing 10 Announcements deadline of April 15. The goal of the Ohio History Fund tax check-off in 2019 is to raise $100,000. That breaks down to 11,200 donations of $9, the average tax 16 Calendar check-off gift. For the price of lunch, you can help Ohio’s historical societies and 17 News from the museums make National Historic Landmark houses accessible to all, upgrade historic Regions site exhibits for children and their care-givers, and digitize and make accessible significant local historical collections for museum visitors and researchers. 18 New & Renewing Members Since 2013, the Ohio History Fund has made 73 grants in 37 counties totaling $688,000. Proving there is a strong need (continued on page 4) bottom of “continued from page x” block top of text President’s Message: text block starts here under “continued from“ banner Never stop learning. In fact, I encourage you to intentionally learn and grow as museum professionals. As leaders, I urge you to always Text box starts here under title block support your staff in their efforts for continued staff development. Abigail Adams said it well, “Learning is not attained by change, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” The great thing about working in the museum world is that museum colleagues are always willing to help out when asked, willing to step up to teach, to provide advice and guidance to their colleagues. We also create wonderful opportunities for growth in a variety of ways, including the upcoming spring regional meetings. From March through April, our OLHA regions will be buzzing with ideas at the Regional Meetings. Topics range from commemorating Women’s Suffrage (Regions 1 & 3) to Best Business Practices for Museums (Region 5) to Strategic Planning: Benefits and Lessons Learned (Region 4.) There is sure to be a timely topic of interest for everyone! This year, please consider joining me in doing two things. One, find a fellow museum colleague who usually does not attend, and encourage them to attend a Regional Meeting with you. Two, be brave and hop over to a different region other than your own to broaden your horizons and join another group of museum professionals exchanging ideas. Lastly, if you like exchanging ideas, save two additional spring dates: The Ohio Museum Association Annual Conference will be April 14 and 15 in Akron. On April 16, the Museum Leadership Exchange will hold its MLX Meeting at Stan Hywet. Never become a victim of a leadership cap and stop learning.

We reached 1.4 million people through visitation, programs, outreach and services. It was a great year, as you’ll see in this report. Everything we do is based on our mission as Indiana’s Storyteller and our commitment to collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing our state’s history. We serve as an important resource for educators, students and researchers – professional and personal. We strive to make Indiana’s history relevant to the rest of the country’s history and to the world today. Connecting people to the past is our most important purpose, and we are able to do it in interesting ways thanks to your support and the support of our Board of Trustees and community advisors. Our particularly powerful You Are There about Italian POWs in Camp Atterbury has truly touched visitors to the History Center.
