The State Library of Ohio is in the process of digitizing many of the old documents in their possession. They sent us the 60-page list, and we have it here. We have asked to be kept abreast of the progress of the digitization. If they comply with our request, we will keep you updated here. This list contains documents that will never be found anywhere else. Most of them are reports that various state employees had to file, and will contain information about individuals that would never have been otherwise known.
