When we open the Ohio Champion of Sports exhibit at the Ohio History Center in Columbus, Ohio, next year we want you to be part of sharing Ohio’s rich sports stories! There will be several ways for you to be part of our exhibit as we go through the next year, the first opportunity starts now. We want you to tell your sports stories by donating sports-related materials to our collection!
We are now actively collecting objects, photos, letters and library materials that document Ohio sports at all levels. We’re interested in items related to amateur, professional and even backyard sports. And, whether you’re the athlete, fan, coach, official, broadcaster, team owner or sponsor, we want to hear your stories and share your collections! These pieces might end up in the exhibit in the community collections area or in our changing collections portion of the exhibit!
By donating to our collection, you can help us preserve and share Ohio’s amazing sports history for generations to come. Here are some examples of items we are looking for:
