Islamic Center of Greater Toledo Community Scan Day collection
This digital collection features select items digitized at the public Community Scan Day event held on May 5, 2019, at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo (ICGT), hosted jointly by the Center for the Archival Collections and the ICGT. The Community Scan Day was made possible by a Common Heritage grant awarded to the CAC and ICGT by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Members of the greater Toledo community were invited to attend the event and bring any archival materials they may have in their personal possession - including documents, photographs, printed ephemera, audio recordings, etc. - that document the history of Northwest Ohio's Muslim community. Materials brought by participants were digitized onsite by CAC staff, and both the original and digital copies of the materials were then returned to their owners. With the owners' permission, the CAC also maintained digital copies of the materials for its own collections.
This digital collection contains only a selection of items that were digitized at the Community Scan Day event. Additional images are being posted on an ongoing basis. For information concerning additional scanned items that are not currently in this collection, please contact the Center for Archival Collections.
Some images in this digital collection can also be viewed in our corresponding digital exhibit, "The Islamic Center of Greater Toledo: Celebrating the History of Northwest Ohio's Muslim Community."
