OLHA Trainings

The Ohio Local History Alliance regularly provides training and professional development through our Annual and Regional Meetings. Selected materials from past Annual Meetings (including recordings of the 2020 and 2021 meeting sessions) are available on our website. Recordings of the 2021 Regional Meetings are also available.

In addition, OLHA also regularly offers targeted training opportunities for member organizations in between the Annual and Regional Meetings. Links to video recordings of these trainings and other related materials will be posted below as they become available.
