We are excited to welcome you to our brand new site. It has been many months in planning, designing, and implementing. We know that there will be hiccups along the way as we gather feedback to make our site more useful, interactive, and fun for the community, teachers, parents, and students alike. Share with us your photos, videos, oral and written histories of your Oviedo family. Let us showcase our community history and begin to leave a legacy for our future generations to come.

We have started an Oviedo Historical Society photo sharing site with Flickr and a new video sharing site on YouTube. We’d love to have you share your photos you’ve taken in and around the community to showcase them so we can all enjoy them.

More information will be posted as we bring our site out of beta testing. For submissions, questions, and more information, simply email us at moc.shodeivonull@ofni.
