What Can You Do with a Photographic Archive? Using Historical Photographs for Creative, Research, and Class Projects

Join Kate Shannon, Ohio State University’s 2025–26 Artist Laureate, as she discusses her creative work with the Rinhart Collection of 19th-century photographs at Ohio State University’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Library. She will introduce approaches to working with historical photographs and share ideas for how photographic archives can be used for teaching, research, and creative work. Participants will also have the opportunity to view selections from Ohio State Lima’s photographic archive documenting the early years of the campus and to discuss ways these photographs might be used in their own projects.
