All editions of the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review, 1968 to Present, have been digitized and are now available online in the OCPL's document center (scroll down to "Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review").
Founded by the Wheeling Area Historical Society in 1968, the UPPER OHIO VALLEY HISTORICAL REVIEW is the only publication of its kind in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Dedicated solely to local history topics, it has become a treasured publication and valuable tool for studying and learning about our geographic area. Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation (WNHAC, later Wheeling Heritage) continued the tradition, editing and publishing the REVIEW from 2010-2018. Ownership of the UOVHR publication was transferred in the second half of 2018 to the Ohio County Public Library in Wheeling.
UOVHR content has historically included articles, transcribed documents, book reviews, and accounts of the economic, political, social, and cultural history of the greater Wheeling area contributed by historians, researchers, and scholars. Any editorial views expressed by authors do not necessarily reflect the views of the OCPL.
OCPL is honored to publish the UOVHR and to host all digital copies of the Review on its website for the benefit of all those interested in the rich history of Wheeling.
