Primary Document Archive Galleries

Over the course of the two semesters the students have collected a good deal of primary document materials as they conducted research on the history of the Arcade. Some of the students arranged this material into gallieres for visitors to the website to examine.  The sources reproduced here come from a variety of collection in several Dayton archives.  These repositories have generously allowed us to exhibit them here.  These archive include Dayton Metro Library, Wright State Special Collections, University of Dayton Archives, and other private collections. Other materials were drawn from local newspapers. It is our hope that instructors can utilize these collections to teach students how to examine primary documents. Examples of how that can be done can be found under the 3Ts Menu selection.
