The Ruth Ketteringham Collection consists of materials that Ruth Ketteringham collected over the many years that she researched Brooklyn-Centre and other areas of Cleveland, Ohio.

Ruth Ketteringham (1906-2006), daughter of George Ketteringham, was devoted to preserving the history of the area. Her research was extensive and allowed her the ability to lecture on various aspects of Brooklyn-Centre.

Ruth was the recipient of the Herrick Memorial Award in 1990. An honor awarded by the Early Settler's Association to individuals who have promoted and brought honor to Cleveland.[1]

Upon Ruth's death at the age of 99 in 2006, her books were donated to the Cleveland Public Library's History Department; four or five file cabinet's worth of papers were donated to the Western Reserve Historical Society (though it isn't known at this time in 2009 whether they have been cataloged and added to their main collection); and two boxes of material were saved from being thrown in the trash by the Brooklyn Centre Community Association.
