Ohio University in 1873: As Seen through the Eyes of Maggie Boyd

I gave a shout-out in early 2018 to the archives at Indiana University for their active and effective use of social media, "Day in the Life of a College Student in 1890s..."  

Today, I'll feature Ohio University Archives and Special Collections and University Libraries.  They are currently hosting an exhibit, "Women at Ohio University, 150 Years of Life and History," and sent a tweet this morning linking to a diary of Maggie Boyd in the archives, the first OU woman graduate.

The archives also maintains a Pinterest board, @MaggieBoyd1873's World, with links to institutional publications, photographs, slide shows, research, and other items related to Maggie Boyd and her time at the institution.

The archives also used Twitter to publish entries from Maggie's senior diary using @MaggieBoyd1873.

You can also read directly from images of Maggie's diary through the digital archives.
