Community Engagement

The Reeder Endowment is proud to support the ongoing Oakwood Cemetery Digitization Project. YSU HSS faculty and students have partnered with the Oakwood Cemetery Association and the Trumbull County Historical Society in an ongoing volunteer project to digitize more than 30,000 interment records held at the cemetery. Volunteers have scanned more than 18,000 records and YSU students have transcribed more than 4,000 records into a database. Our goal is to create a free, online, fully-searchable database of these records to help families, community members, and scholars better explore the rich history of the Mahoning Valley.
