Medina County History Resource Now Available Online!

Medina County District Library is excited to announce that their local history collection "Medina Landmarks / About the Past" has been digitized.  The entire collection can be accessed at The Digital Archives of MCDL (https://mcdl.info/newspapers). To search the collection, simply enter keywords(s) to find and view full-text articles. 

The "Medina Landmarks / About the Past" collection was originally created in 1963.  Over the next 31 years, librarians at MCDL clipped news articles about Medina County’s historic events, individuals, and landmarks. These articles were organized in a series of 50 scrapbooks and include more than 1,500 pages of content.  Collectively, the collection documents an era of tremendous change and growth in Medina County, Ohio.  

Nearly a decade ago, MCDL staff began digitizing the collection to preserve it for future generations and improve access for current researchers.  To celebrate the digitization of this collection, MCDL's Family History & Learning Center is hosting a contest featuring Medina County Landmarks. 

Contest participants with the most correct answers will be entered to win a prize of MCDL swag.  To participate, click here or stop in to the Family History & Learning Center to see the display.  Identify the township for 12 Medina County landmarks -- and earn bonus points by identifying the landmark by name!  Participants may use the "Medina Landmarks / About the Past" collection for help finding answers.  The contest begins June 1 and will end June 15.
