Materials Donation
Family genealogies or histories related to Scioto County or its residents, county histories, biographical sketches of residents, indexes, abstracts or transcriptions of vital records, newspapers, probate records, or cemetery records are greatly desired. Microfilms of genealogical data will be accepted. We also accept Family Group Records, Pedigree Charts, copies of pages from Bible records, and photos.
The objective is to add to the Research Library’s permanent holdings, and to make these items discoverable and available to users as openly as possible.
Donated items must be accompanied by a Donation Form. Upon receipt, the donated material will be reviewed, and a decision made regarding retention. Once donated, the material will become the property of the Scioto County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society.
Due to limited space, not all donations can be added to our collection. Donors are encouraged to submit items in bound format and to organize records before submission.
SCCOGS reserves the right to withdraw donations from our Research Library collection if they become obsolete or can be replaced by newer editions.
Thank you for helping us support our members and the community!
