Family History Library[edit | edit source]
- To find other archives and libraries with collections of Ohio records, look in the directories and information listed in the "Archives and Libraries" and Ohio Societies.
- Inventories of archive and library collections are found in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog.
In the early 1940s the Historical Records Survey produced inventories of county courthouses and archives. These describe the existing records and record-keeping systems. The Family History Library has copies of these inventories for about 30 of the 88 counties in Ohio. These are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under: Ohio- ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES Ohio, [COUNTY] - ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES
