Collections Spotlight: Photographs from the Columbus Citizen-Journal
The newspaper's photograph collection gets a 2025 update, preserving more than 24,000 images and making them easier to access.
This delightful cartoon and the accompanying ruminations on finding an arrowhead, appeared in an unknown, but probably Columbus, Ohio, newspaper sometime in the 1930s. It’s from a scrapbook of clippings collected by Robert Goslin. Goslin was a curator at the Ohio Historical Society who started out working as an archaeologist, but who went on to focus on Natural History.
I’ll be sharing other gems from Goslin’s scrapbook in the coming weeks.
