Attention all local history buffs— the ‘Toledo Package’, a series of historical digital documentaries about Toledo, is now available for streaming on the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library website. The 30-minute photographic slideshows highlight some famous local hot-spots as well as national movements that have had historical significance in Toledo. The package includes titles such as ‘The Afro-American Experience’, ‘The Early Fight For Woman Suffrage’, ‘Meet Me at Tiedtke’s’, ‘Toledo in the 1920s’ and many more. Produced via a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the digital copies can be checked out or viewed by the public at www.toledolibrary.org. For our Lucas County readers, make sure to check out ‘Meet Me at Tiedtke’s’ and ‘Toledo in the 1920s’, which both focus on the lively aspects of downtown Toledo in the early and mid 20th century.—GMK
