We are always receptive to donations by prior arrangement.

Oakwood Tidings was a short-lived newspaper during the Great Depression. Printed out of a home, this newspaper covered life in Oakwood and Greater Dayton, and national news. The issues are invaluable for a glimpse into everyday life including ads for restaurants and grocery stores in the area. This collection of eleven issues is a great addition to the Oakwood Historical Society's collection of newspaper and records.
