The Tornado Memory Project was undertaken in 2005 as part of the 20th anniversary commemoration of the tornado that swept through the Mahoning Valley on May 31st, 1985, killing twelve Trumbull County residents and leaving hundreds injured and homeless. The Project sought to collect the personal memories and photographs of the people who experienced the tornado firsthand, and to make them available to the public through the library’s website. The photographs included are from the collections of residents who captured the scenes of destruction following in the wake of the tornado either on the 31st of May, or in the early days of June. Since that time additional donated photographs and scans of photographs have been added to the collection. If you wish to submit your memories or images, please email the library at lhg@wtcpl.org.
