In light of seeing online reader engagement decline and staff projects and demands increase each year, the decision has been made to cease publication of "Past Pursuits." The final issue was published in Autumn/Winter 2022.
Special Collections staff will continue to feature local history content in upcoming issues of the Library’s newsletter, “Insight.” This publication is available online and in print at all Akron-Summit County Public Library locations.
From all of us in the Special Collections Division, we express our most sincere thanks for your support of “Past Pursuits.” We will continue to serve and advocate for all of our researchers as we move forward.
