Cleveland Historical

Find interesting people, places and events in Cleveland history.

Cleveland Historical is a free app that puts Cleveland history at your fingertips. Developed by the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities at Cleveland State University, Cleveland Historical is a mobile application that provides an interpretive view of the region's history. Find interesting people, places and events in Cleveland history, and take curated historical tours of the city. Each point on the interactive location-enabled map includes historical information about the site along with historic images from Cleveland's top archival institutions. Many sites also include audio clips and short documentary videos based on oral history interviews from CSU's Cleveland Regional Oral History collection (clevelandvoices.org). Cleveland Historical is a collaborative project with stories created by teachers, students, professors, and community members, and curated by the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities. Visit the website at clevelandhistorical.org.

If you see a historical site or topic that is not covered in your area of the city, check back often. We add new material on a monthly basis. If you would like to suggest a site or become involved in developing digital stories, reviewing content, or collecting regional history please contact us via email at digitalhumanities@csuohio.edu, on Twitter at @clehistorical, on Facebook, Instagram, or on the web at clevelandhistorical.org.
