Marietta College: Manuscripts and Documents of the Ohio Company of Associates
In 2000, Marietta College was awarded a Save America's Treasures matching grant, administered by the National Park Service, for the conservation and digitization of The Manuscripts and Documents of the Ohio Company of Associates. Together with the Rufus Putnam Papers, these materials document the role played by a group of Revolutionary War officers in opening the Old Northwest Territory to organized settlement. Presented to Marietta College in the late 19th century by descendants of Ohio Company directors and shareholders, the total number of items in the combined collections is approximately 3,000. Of these, about 900 items were conserved and digitized. The remaining 2,100 items were inventoried and preserved in the special collections department of the Marietta College library, where they are accessible to researchers.
