The darker side of Earth Day: Remembering why we remember…

How far have we come? We celebrate our Earth today, thinking of ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle to ensure there is an Earth left to celebrate. But, being archivists, we are also mindful that history shows us that sometimes forests burn, houses flood, and pollution ends up in our streams. It’s the nature of having the historical records just outside our office doors…

Be good stewards, take care of our planet, and visit the osu.commons OR 150 collection, which will show you some of the natural beauty our great state has to offer!

Take heart, we have a future: check these sites out:
