HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE COLLECTION
The Ohio Newspaper Women’s Association was founded on October 24th, 1902 in Toledo, Ohio, following a meeting of the Ohio State Federation of Women’s Clubs. The purpose of the ONWA is “ to encourage thought and action among newspaper women of the state, ( and) to elevate the standards of the profession through educational programs and interchange of methods and experience.” The ONWA was a non- profit organization governed by its executive board.
Declining membership led to the dissolving of the ONWA in late 2004.
