Wankelman Family Collection
Collection
Identifier: MS-1106
Collection Organization
Most of the photographs which comprise the bulk of the collection were not identified. It was determined, however, after examining the Masonic and Kiwanis rosters included in the collection, that Frederick Wankelman is the predominant figure in many of the photographs. Wherever possible Frederick’s name has been added to some images which span his youth, school years and adulthood. The collection’s significance lies in its connection to BGSU professor Williard Wankelman. A few images of him as a child and a small number of other family members are included as well.
Masonic and Kiwanis rosters, booklets and artifacts offer an interesting glimpse into Frederick Wankelman’s social activities in Cincinnati, Ohio from approximately 1935 until 1977.
