M The Ohio Historical Society is pleased to announce a new addition to our Online Resources: the Boys Industrial School Inmates' Case Records Index. http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/database/industrial/ This online index improves access to this resource for genealogical and family history research. Currently, this database indexes the admission records from 1858 to 1916. OHS intends to continue the indexing project to cover the period to 1920. Researchers may use this index to collect volume and page numbers for specific records. Visitors to the Archives/Library may use the microfilm containing the original inmate case records free of charge in the Microfilm Reading Room at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus, and make copies there for a nominal fee, currently 25 cents per page (State Archives Series 1097; GR3384- GR3396; GR3875-GR3887; GR3977-GR3981). If you wish to mail in your request, Research Services staff will make uncertified copies and mail them to you for $12.00 per record. Researchers can create an order form online from their selected records. The original Inmate Case records provide information on Name and Parentage (birthplace, date received, parents' names and nationality); Commitment (offense, by whom committed); Education (including Sunday School for some years); Health and Special Marks; Employment (including parents' occupations for some years); and Miscellaneous (bad habits such as tobacco, profane language, intoxicants, truancy; and remarks on discharge). Beginning in 1913, the form of the entries changed to one page per boy, and added more information, such as previous commitments and family data.

The link to the database is also available on the Archives/Library front page http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/ under Genealogical Resources. Melinda kcyankee@charter.net
