Send Your Flood Photos to be Archived by the Library for Future Generations

Written by Liz Foreman, Marketing Manager, Downtown Main Library

As the Ohio River crests to flood levels not seen this decade, the Library is working to create an archive of photos to share with future generations.

CHPL’s Digital Library archives photos of significant events, including the 1937 flood. Now, you’re invited to share your photos of this year’s flood to be included in an upcoming collection on CHPL’s Digital Library.
