The Interpretive Framework

In October 2009, a group of scholars and Ohio Civil War 150 staff convened to begin answering the question: What is Ohio’s Civil War story when viewed through a fresh perspective today?

The results of that day’s work and the subsequent thinking and writing of that group is available in the form of a downloadable Interpretive Framework [PDF].  For those that would like to engage in a more in-depth reading and discussion, the themes of the document are broken down into a special forum on this website.  Ohio Civil War 150 is a project that will evolve over the course of time and we welcome your feedback.

The Partnership

Ohio Civil War 150 © is a project of the Ohio Historical Society, in collaboration with the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities at the Cleveland State University Department of History.  Much of the archival content derives from collections at OhioMemory.org, a repository maintained jointly by OHS and the State Library of Ohio.
