1Title:  Cleveland Municipal Light Plant Construction Photographs     
 Creator:  Cleveland Municipal Light Plant 
 Dates:  1910-1940 
 Abstract:  The municipal electrical system of Cleveland, Ohio, had its beginnings when the city annexed the suburb of South Brooklyn and took over its light plant in 1906. Cleveland added another light plant when it annexed Collinwood in 1910. The East 53rd Street plant began operations in July 1914, rendering the Brooklyn plant unnecessary. In 1917, construction began on the addition to the East 53rd Street plant. A year later the Collinwood plant was abandoned. In 1938, the Lake Road Generating Station was built on North Marginal Drive. The collection consists of views of various municipal light plants of the publicly owned electrical power system of Cleveland, Ohio. Views include the construction of the East 53rd Street Municipal Light Plant addition; views of the Collinwood, Brooklyn and Lake Road plants; and supplementary views of support infrastructure. Also included are individual portraits of employees.

2Title:  Electrical League of Northern Ohio, Inc. Photographs     
 Creator:  Electrical League of Northern Ohio, Inc. 
 Dates:  1884-1975 
 Abstract:  The Electrical League of Northern Ohio, Inc. was founded in 1909 in Cleveland, Ohio. It was incorporated in 1915 as the Electrical League of Cleveland Inc., a non-profit association of electrical companies. Founding members included George E. Miller of the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and J. Robert Crouse of the General Electric Company. Under the leadership of John E. (Jack) North, president from 1923 to 1949, the League's primary function was the promotion of electrical products and services available to consumers through its membership, which included electrical manufacturers, distributors, dealers, contractors, and key Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company employees. Educational programs, meetings, and trade shows sponsored by the League were designed to educate the public on the uses of electricity and to provide technical training and marketing techniques to League members. The League established collateral organizations, including the Electrical Maintenance Engineers Association, the Women's Division, and the Sight Saving Council of Cleveland, in order to bring its educational and promotional programs to targeted groups. By 1949, the League became primarily an industrial organization. In 1958, the League was reorganized as a trade association. Its name was changed in the 1980s to the Electrical League of Northern Ohio, Inc. This collection also contains substantial personal papers of John E. (Jack) North, documenting his career in the electrical industry. The collection consists of individual portraits of League directors, officers, and meeting speakers; group portraits of general membership and other meetings; and views of trade shows and fairs, events, trips, inspections, educational programs, social functions, and other League activities. Also includes photographs of activities and individuals of affiliated organizations, including the Electrical Maintenance Engineers Association. Photographs reflect League sales activities aimed at promoting the use of electrical appliances to consumers, as well as social events and outings. Of particular interest are photographs of classes and programs for women, designed to educate them about uses of electricity in the modern home, and depictions of early electrical consumer goods. The collection also contains photographs relating to John E. (Jack) North, longtime president of the Electrical League, and his family.
