Yeah it’s a shame these flags were stored furled. Preservation is a tricky bisuness, as our technology and ability to restore and conserve artifacts is constantly changing and it is hard to apply best practices. But by having decent funding at least something can be done. Interestingly this photo would have been at a reunion where a specific set of flags were out on loan. The flags were stored at the state house, and loaned out under authority of the Adjutant General at this point... Ohio made a point of trying to collect all the Civil War colors of units so that they didn’t disappear over the intervening years. These flags ought to still be in storage in Columbus, O. , there was an effort around the centennial to try and unfurl and photograph flags which is where much of the “Ohio History Connection” gets its pictures.
