Upon his retirement from Kent State University in 1996, Robert Swierenga,
Professor of History, felt that some of his student seminar papers ought to be
kept in the Archives for use by other researchers. Many of the papers in this
collection are concerned with topics related to Ohio history. They have been
placed in alphabetical order by student name.
