In response to the coronavirus and the mandated state-at-home order, the Trumbull County Historical Society is planning offer programming in an Internet-based format.
“This week our focus has been to shift our programs to go digital,” said Historical Society representatives in a weekend email.
Upcoming programs include:
• Student Programming – One of the first projects will be a series of educational programs for students in the third to eighth grades. It’s set to launch Monday, April 6. The eight-week program includes a new lesson every Monday.
• Sunday Speaker Series – The Historical Society is working to present its Sunday Speaker Series as an online webinar or podcast. This project is in the planning stages.
• Trumbull County Encyclopedia – The Historical Society is compiling the “Trumbull County Encyclopedia,” which includes a directory of Trumbull County people and businesses (historic and current). The organization is relying on volunteers to submit entries. Eight Trumbull County volunteers are currently working on the project.
• Voices website – The Trumbull County Historical Society’s Voices website is on target to launch at the end of April.
