Birmingham

A joint project of the Department of History and the Urban Affairs Center ar The University of Toledo, and the Toledo/Lucas County Public Library.

Excerpt from the Introduction:

The story of Toledo's Birmingham neighborhoods is one that reflects the larger themes of American urban development — immigration, industrialization, and community growth. That story is told here in the words of those who actually experienced it, the long-time residents of Birmingham who shared their memories through an oral history project. The value of theses reminiscences is that they reveal the intangibles of the past.
