The Ohio State University Archives has a vast photographic collection from former OSU student and Olympic gold-medalist Jesse Owens.  There’s only one problem: many individuals included in the photographs with Owens were left unidentified.

Here’s where you can help (and you want to help us, right?).  Below are a handful of photos with unidentified people.  If you can ID anyone in the images below, please give us a shout out by email, archives@osu.edu or through our Facebook page.

Here’s hoping you find a few recognizable faces!
