Collection Organization
Delphos, Ohio is a small, northwestern Ohio town of approximately 3,000 people, fifteen miles northwest of Lima, Ohio. Delphos is located on State Routes 309, 66, 190, and Highway 30, which runs east and west of Interstate 75. The town is situated in the far northwest corner of Allen County, where it borders Van Wert and Putnam counties.
The negatives in this collection document the history, growth, and townspeople of Delphos, Ohio. The town is typical of hundreds of small Midwestern towns which came into existence in Ohio in the mid-19th century. The photographs of Delphos show how small town commercial areas developed in response to local industrialization and expanded agricultural commerce.
The majority of the images are 4 x 6 cm. copy negatives made by the Center for Archival Collections. These photographs show historic buildings, Main Street, local businesses, churches, quarries, the Flood of 1913, family portraits, school classes, trains, social clubs, baseball teams, factory interiors with workers, fires, members of the police and fire departments, and the Blizzard of 1978. The copy material came from original prints, postcards, The Delphos Herald, and a variety of books and pamphlets, including Delphos Vincenqui-Bicentennial Historical Book, 1851-1976 (1976), Old Cars (1977), Historical Atlas of Allen County, Ohio, 1875-1880 (1880), Fireman's Yearbook (1953), History of Delphos (n.d.), and St. John's Centennial Edition (1981).
The larger format 4 x 5 in. negatives are primarily of the 1951 Delphos Centennial Celebration and parade taken by the Hoverman Photographic Studio. The pictures in this group show numerous views of the parade, scenes from the "dramatic spectacle" entitled "One Hundred Years along the Tow-path", and shots of an original conestoga wagon complete with a team of oxen.
A separate collection of Hoverman Studio 8 x 10 glass and film negatives is cataloged as MS-476.
