Centennial Memories is a collection of past and present stories, images, and other digital artifacts donated by students, faculty, and staff of
Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio.
The University Libraries' Emerging Technologies unit and the Center for Archival Collections
conceived of this project to help commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the
founding of Bowling Green State University.

If you are (or have been) connected with BGSU, please contribute to this project! Documents, scanned photographs, audio files, video files, and digital images can all be contributed, but please make certain they are ones that you own. Simply click on the "Add Item" link and fill out the form. If you choose "story" as the type of contribution, you can type directly into the text box. Use keywords to describe your contribution in terms that are meaningful to you or your friends and classmates. This will allow others to easily search and browse your contributions. For a demo, please see the Add an Item video or the How to add a story to Centennial Memories video.
The digital artifacts contributed by users will remain in this digital exhibit space for at least the 2009-2010 calendar year. To ensure the best possible environment
for long-term access and preservation, the artifacts will be transferred to the OhioLINK Digital Resource Collection as part of the BGSU Digital Repository at
http://drc.library.bgsu.edu/. In addition, the Center for Archival Collections will transfer still images and text files to microfilm when possible.
Centennial Memories is hosted and supported by campus Information Technology Services and the Office of the CIO.
