This Index May Be Inaccessible After July 1, 2003
Due to significant recent and potential decreases in state support, the
Ohio
Historical Society may be forced to make massive reductions in staff by
July
1, 2003.
As a result, the death certificate index may be removed from the
society's
web site. This would be necessary since staff would be unable to
fulfill the
large number of requests for copies submitted by patrons who use the
online
index.
Onsite access to the index and the death certificates may also be
limited by
reductions in operating hours of the reading room at the Ohio
Historical
Center in Columbus. Research assistance via telephone, fax, e-mail, and
postal mail will likely be curtailed as well.
You can help OHS avoid taking these actions or shorten the duration of
the
service interruption by:

Becoming a member of OHS
Making a financial contribution to OHS
Telling lawmakers how much you value the death certificate index, and
the
Ohio Historical Society's other programs and services:
Contact your state legislators
Contact Governor Bob Taft
Additional information about the Ohio Historical Society's budget
situation
can be found here.
