Title: The Ohio Story Radio Scripts
Bulk Dates: 1947-1955
Inclusive Dates: 1947-2014
Description: 4 boxes, 24 files, containing 23 plastic comb-bound notebooks with 1309 episodes (not complete). The typed episodes vary in length from 2 to 8 pages and are in 8 ½ x 11 format.
Scope and Content:

The Ohio Story scripts were donated by the author's son, Jonathan Seidel, Cleveland, Ohio, on 12 Aug 1996. The original finding aid, developed by librarian Elizabeth Glasgow, said: "Collection contains the original scripts of the radio show, The Ohio Story, which aired in Cleveland during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Collection includes 2 stapled indexes to scripts running (by location) through Ada to Mesopotamia, Ohio, and 23 spiral-bound collections of scripts. Two sheets of biographical material about the author Frank Seidel are also included. The scripts read as such, complete with orchestra prompts, commercial breaks, etc. Not all scripts in the index were included in the donation."

In 2014, librarian Tom Neel applied for funding to digitize The Ohio Story holdings and was successful in receiving a $2000 Ohio Archives Grant to be matched by the Ohio Genealogical Society. The Ohio Archives Grants are funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an arm of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) through their State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) Grants program. The funded projects include organizing and preserving historical records and cataloging and digitizing records for improved access. Neel titled the project - "Digitization of The Ohio Story Script - Bringing Old Radio Back to Life,"

Developed by Strongsville native and historian Frank Siedel, the shows aired three times per week from 1947 to 1967 in Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Youngstown, and Zanesville. The sponsor was the Ohio Bell Telephone Company and the narrator was initially Robert Waldrop, and later, Nelson Olmsted (1914-1982). These were short pieces about Ohio communities, events, and personalities, generally ten minutes in length, and were used to fill air time after a 20-minute news block. They were conversational history, bringing in current events and a lot of humor. Examples include episodes on the "Ohio Soap Box Derby" airing 16 Aug 1947, "Jed Smith and the Far Ranges 16 May 1949," and "The Little Brown Jug" 23 Sep 1953. Later scripts were also written by William Ellis, known for his Rivers of America series. A television version was initiated in June 1952. Stuart Buchanan was the director throughout. Both Tom Field and Robert Waldrop served as announcers. The OGS collection of scripts is incomplete. We discovered that the Western Reserve Historical Society (Cleveland) has a partial collection and the Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Ohio History Connection (Columbus) have complete copies, but hardbound. CML has offered to use their new book scanner to retrieve the episodes that we are missing. Russ Pollitt and Angela O'Neal from CML are assisting with this. Jon Seidel, son of the author, provided input. Both Ohio Bell Telephone Company (now AT&T Ohio - Ameritech Technologies Corp.) and WTAM 1100 Radio (Cleveland) were contacted but current employees didn't know about the show or any possible corporate holdings.

In an age of Facebook and Twitter, these ten-minute human interest pieces are very similar to the way that the public receives news today. Nothing has changed in how we accumulate our knowledge of trivia. Students and historians will be able to search the metadata of The Ohio Story Scripts to learn about what the 1940s and 1950s audience thought was important in Ohio history. And these written sound-bites may be viewed from the user's home computer 24/7. We want to publicly thank the Ohio Records Advisory Board and its Ohio Archives Grant program for allowing us to preserve this aspect of Ohio history. This will bring a new set of users to our web site who will learn something and be more supportive of Ohio history in the future.

The episodes held by OGS have been scanned and are on the web site: www.ogsarchive.org

Access: no restrictions

Provenance: Donated by Jonathan Siedel, Cleveland, Ohio, on 12 Aug 1996, son of the author; possible additions coming from Columbus Metropolitan Library (additional episode scans) and from Jon Siedel (photographs) at time of finding aid preparation per grant deadline.
