Collection consists of approximately 318 items that consists of snapshot photographs, most accompanied by original celluloid negatives, from the 1970 Ohio State University riots, April 15 to May 7, 1970, and from the demonstrations in Washington, DC, on May 9, 1970.
The Ohio State riots were one of the largest student demonstrations of the Vietnam War era but were overshadowed by the contemporaneous demonstrations at Kent State, which resulted in the deaths of four students. Seven protesters were shot at Ohio State but all survived, and Ohio Governor James Rhodes took the unprecedented step of shutting down the campus for two weeks in the middle of the quarter.
