\"Alex<\/a>Hi, my name is Alex Temple, and I\u2019m the Project Archivist who will be letting the life and work of Benjamin Gettler out of the box, so to speak.\u00a0 While I am unpacking and learning, I will be using this blog to share with you some of the interesting footprints* left behind by Mr. Gettler throughout his accomplished life of service and business achievement.\u00a0 To round it out, I will also be sharing with you my process and experiences with the project.<\/p>\n

These \u201cfootprints\u201d are currently stored in six boxes.\u00a0 It is my job to sort through these boxes and arrange their contents in a way that best represents the life of Ben Gettler, and to describe the contents and arrangement to make his life easy for you to access and discover for yourself.\u00a0 There will be detailed finding aid created, along with a web exhibit and select digitization of important documents.<\/p>\n

\"Gettler<\/a>To put another way, Mr. Gettler wore many shoes in his life while leaving these footprints, and I\u2019ll be determining their style and occasion.\u00a0 I will also be rehousing the collection to ensure that these records of his life will be preserved for long-term care, so with some luck we just might meet a cobbler on the way!<\/p>\n

In his life, Benjamin Gettler worked as a lawyer, served on the University of Cincinnati\u2019s Board of Trustees, and was deeply involved in Cincinnati public transportation, the Jewish community, and local, state, national, and international politics and philanthropies.\u00a0 What are the contributions of Ben Gettler that you are interested in? Throughout this project, your thoughts are always welcome and encouraged!<\/p>\n
