Lost Findlay Media Hunt
Hello folks,
Like probably most people here, I'm a Findlay local, and I'm very interested in preserving the history of our town, however small. A few of you may have seen my post covering a Findlay-specific RCA record the other day, that's one of 3 records I currently have that are either from Findlay directly, or Findlay related. My main goal is to save old media that has no recording online anywhere, and Findlay specifically is a subset of that goal.
I've come here to ask for your help finding any other forms of media created by locals or about Findlay in general, the three I've found have come together over a span of a few years. If you know of any music groups who recorded here, that'd be helpful. If you know of any churches or politicians who made a record here, that'd be helpful too. I'm also open to VHS tapes and cassette tapes, from roughly the early 1900s through the 90s, as I have the tools to digitize and preserve all of them. If it's a Marathon Petroleum corporate training record, or your grandfather's church group who pressed an album to sell to their congregation, I'm interested. And if you have something but aren't comfortable parting with it, that's completely fine, I'm happy to just document what it is, or come digitize it and hand it right back to you.
Any information would be very helpful, anything from names to the media itself can be useful in my mission to digitize the lives of people here.
Next up I'll have a record from Tennyson Guyer, a Findlay local who served in Ohio's House of Representatives for many years, and a recording of either the 76th performance of Findlay High School's concert band, or a Bicentennial recording, hard to say for sure based on the album name alone.
Thank you for helping me digitize the lives of people here!
