DOWNTOWN AKRON — Summit County Executive Russ Pry announced a $2,000 grant has been awarded by the Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board (OHRAB) for the Edwin Shaw Hospital Scrapbook Project. The grant will be used to preserve, catalog and digitize records for improved public access, according to Pry’s office.

In 2010, the county’s Records Center and archives became the guardian of records for the closed Edwin Shaw Tuberculosis Sanitarium in Lakemore. Among the collection of historical documents are admittance cards, burial permit books, board minutes, intake and discharge records, annual reports, financial records, films, newsletters, photographs and several scrapbooks, according to Pry’s office. The scrapbooks include correspondence, pamphlets, brochures, posters, photographs and glass plates.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition. 
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
