9. Statement of Significance Attach to the application a separate piece of paper; explain why the person, place, event, or thing to be marked deserves recognition on an Ohio Historical Marker. We suggest that you begin the first sentence of this section as follows: This subject merits recognition on an Ohio Historical Marker because…” Support all statements of fact with creditable sources. Sources from the time of the subject being marked (primary sources) are strongly preferred over those that describe the subject years after the fact (secondary sources). Document all statements of fact in the statement of significance with footnotes or endnotes1. The purpose of footnotes/endnotes is to tell others where you found the facts in the suggested marker text. STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE MUST BE TYPEWRITTEN. Please limit the statement of significance to one or two typed 8.5 x 11 pages. 10. Suggested Marker Text On a separate piece of paper, draft a suggested marker text of between 70 - 130 words per side. Suggested texts in excess of 160 words per side may be returned to the local sponsor for further editing before review by the markers program. Suggested texts for Ohio Corporate Limit Markers should not exceed approximately 15 words. The text must be historically accurate, informative, and concise. All suggested texts are subject to revision at the discretion of the markers program to insure these goals are met. Document all statements of fact in suggested marker text with footnotes or endnotes, as in the Statement of Significance above. Including footnotes/ endnotes in the suggested text aids the process of reviewing and fact-checking. Please note that footnotes/endnotes will NOT be included on the finished marker. SUGGESTED TEXTS MUST BE TYPEWRITTEN. 11. Sources and Bibliography On a separate piece of paper, please list the publications or other references cited in the footnotes/endnotes in questions #10 and #11 above. Also attach to your application photocopies of the relevant pages (not the whole book). For each reference, note the name of the author, the title of the source, its place and date of publication, and page numbers. Be sure to match which footnote/endnote goes with what photocopied source attached. If it is impractical to photocopy the source, please indicate where it may be found so that it may be consulted when this application is reviewed. Applications missing sources and a bibliography will be returned. 12. Application Check List: Use this checklist below to insure your application is ready to submit.

Send or e-mail completed application and supporting materials to: Historical Markers Program Coordinator Local History Services Ohio History Connection 800 E 17th Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43211-2474 rtrivison@ohiohistory.org 1 This is a footnote. Please make sure each note includes the following information: AUTHOR of source, TITLE, PLACE OF PUBLICATION, DATE OF PUBLICATION, and PAGE NUMBER. This format, for example, is the one typically used in historical writing: Charles Van Tassel, Story of the Maumee Valley, Toledo and Sandusky Region (Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1929), pp. 18-19. However, the markers program is more concerned with knowing the sources the information rather than the formats of footnotes or endnotes. Whatever format is used, a good footnote/endnote answers these questions: “What is the source of this fact?” and “What source must I consult to find this fact for myself?” If the source is a web page, please include the link in your footnote, for example: “Ohio City (City of Ohio)” Encyclopedia of Cleveland History at http://ech.case.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=OC1 It is not necessary to repeat information if your referring to the same source many times throughout your suggested text, just include the author, title, and page number. Using the example above: Van Tassel, Story of the Maumee Valley, p. 28 | Page | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
