Chartered in 1831 by an act of the Ohio Legislature,The Cincinnati Historical Society is the oldesthistorical society in the state and one of the firstin the nation.

The 1981 Annual Report ofThe Cincinnati Historical Society

The Cincinnati Historical Society celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1981with a year filled with new and traditional activities. A $200,000 "challengegrant" from the National Endowment for the Humanities stimulated theSociety to conduct a $1 million Sesquicentennial Challenge Grant FundDrive. This effort established a major theme for the anniversary celebration—the commitment of the Society's Board of Trustees, staff, and members toendowing an ongoing conservation program to care for the priceless collec-tions which have been entrusted to the Society since its founding in 1831.

At 150, the Society appeared balanced between its past and its fu-ture. While its purpose—to collect, preserve, and communicate informationabout local history—remained the same, methods for fulfilling this missionwere changing. The Society became more visible throughout the communityby way of television programs, community history displays, and a new in-school program. In 1981 the Society's outreach was unusually inclusive.Partially as a result, the library—the institution's traditional and most im-portant public program—was busier than ever before. Laura Chace, SueBrunsman, and Dan Hurley have helped recall some highlights of the pastyear. We offer this selective journal of our sesquicentennial year to sharesome of what has made the year exciting as well as demanding for theSociety's staff. It was a year that offered the hope that just possibly, even at150, for the Cincinnati Historical Society, the best is yet to be.

January 7. Dr. Gary C. Ness, Director ofthe Ohio Historical Society, spoke at theannual meeting of the CincinnatiHistorical Society, addressing the topicof Local History and Local HistoricalSocieties in the Eighties: Cincinnati.As the constriction of governmentspending penalizes those institutionswhich have been largely dependent uponstate and federal funding, Dr. Nessunderscored the importance of CHS'stradition of private support.

January 24. A donor gave the Society $1million. We are to begin acquiringproperty that might serve as a site for anew building, providing the Board andthe community subsequently agree thatthe site will serve the Society's presentand future needs.

February

February 11. Braving a moderately severe snowstorm, CHS members and friendsgathered at the Society to celebrate the 150th birthday with a Charter Day Party. TheWomen's Association handled the arrangements, provided the food, and secured en-tertainment by members of Matinee Musicale.

At the Charter Day event, President JohnDiehl officially launched the $1 millionSesquicentennial Challenge Grant FundDrive. Trustees Frederick A. Hauck willserve as honorary chairman, and WallaceT. Collect will coordinate the campaign.A highlight of the event was the award-ing of the first ten sets of John CasparWild lithographs of Cincinnati in 1835 toearly contributors to the fund drive. Theywere given as a premium to patrons whocontributed $1,000 or more. The printswere reproduced from gouache originalsin the Society's collection by theHennegan Company. Wild's paintingswere deemed particularly appropriatebecause they illustrate the kind of ma-terial the Society collects and show viewsof Cincinnati as it looked when theSociety was founded.

Charter Day also marked the opening of a remarkable exhibit assembled by LauraChace and other members of the library and -curatorial staff. Titled Gems From theCollections, it consisted of rare maps, manuscripts, photographs, books, and paintings.Supplemented with materials documenting the corporate and publishing history of theSociety, the exhibit illustrated CHS's prmary purpose: to collect, preserve, and makeavailable material pertaining to the history of this region and its people.

March

March 11. Professor Oscar Handlin,Pulitzer Prize winning historian,Harvard University Professor of History,and Director of the Harvard UniversityLibrary, gave the sesquicentennial lec-ture, Cincinnati's Roots Grow Deep, to afull house in the Alms Auditorium.Trustee Joseph S. Stern, Jr., who arrangedProfessor Handlin's visit, hosted a recep-tion and dinner party prior to the lecture.

March 7-April 11. A six-part television series, Cincinnati, featuring Charles Kuralt ap-peared on Channel 9. The broadcasts culminated more than a year-and-a-half effort byDaniel Hurley, who researched and wrote the scripts—with assistance from many otherstaff members. Lacking the traditional museum, CHS has always had difficulty com-municating the history of the city to large numbers of people. Through this major tele-vision project, however, the Society reached hundreds of thousands of area residentswith a sophisticated presentation. According to a Nielsen Station Index survey, morethan 307,000 people saw the second segment of the series. In addition to their initialSaturday evening broadcast, the programs were repeated on Tuesday mornings for theconvenience of teachers throughout the area who were encouraged to tape the programsfor future use in their schools. To complement this educational package, 5,000discussion guides were distributed for each program.

April 2. Trustee Thomas E. Huenefeldassembled about seventy volunteers foran orientation session on the programs ofthe Society and the purpose of thesesquicentennial fund drive. They willsolicit gifts from an estimated 500companies.

But only the NHPRC grant gave the Societythe resources needed to catalog and microfilm the collection.

August

•

August 15. The Neighborhood StudiesProject opened its most elaborate andeffective exhibit to date at the Sedams-ville Street Festival. This small, workingclass neighborhood on the west sideworked diligently for six months re-searching existing materials, collectingover 250 photographs from the familyalbums of residents, and collectingtwelve oral history interviews. Thetwenty-five people who pursued the re-search of their neighborhood determinedthe interpretation to be presented as wellas the photos and oral history quotes.

Building on the experience gained during the first fifteen months of the project, thesecond phase of the Neighborhood Studies Project that began in January had a bettersense of the proper way to tailor projects to fit the interests and needs of participants.In addition to community displays, the project staff initiated work in numerous otherneighborhoods, such as Clifton Heights and Walnut Hills. An especially importantprogram involves working with the community councils in Riverside, Madisonville., andCarthage to retrieve and study the records of their organizations. Most such materialsremain scattered in the basements of past officers, but through these pilot efforts, therecords will be assembled and organization histories written. Cincinnati has been animportant center for the development of strong neighborhood organizations; throughthis program, records of such groups will become part of CHS's permanent collections.
