The goal of the Wales-Ohio Project is to digitize a selection of Welsh Americana relating to the state of Ohio held at The National Library of Wales and to make them available to audiences world-wide via this website.

The Digital Library section displays approximately 5,000 digital images of archive and manuscript material, printed material, maps and photographs. Each digital item is accompanied by specially prepared interpretative text to place them in context.

This unique website is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Welsh-American history and culture including:

genealogists
local historians
students of all ages
scholars

It also celebrates and strengthens the bonds that exist between Wales, Ohio and the United States.

The Wales-Ohio website owes its existence to the generosity and vision of Evan E. and Elizabeth F. Davis, and they have kindly provided The National Library with further financial assistance to enhance this site.
