Purpose of this Site:
This website is a cooperative project of four libraries in Sandusky County, intended to showcase images and documents from the county's history and to make them widely available to the public, especially students. Many of these are unique and fragile primary sources not otherwise able to withstand repeated use.

Materials in this exhibit are historical records. Some items may contain material considered sensitive, since it reflects the culture and values of a particular place and time. Spelling and grammatical idiosyncrasies have been retained as they appear in the original documents. Authenticity is part of the educational and historical purpose of the exhibit.
