AGENCY BACKGROUND
The Ohio War History Commission was established in 1942 by the administration of
Governor John W. Bricker. The Governor appointed twenty-four commission members.
They represented community organizations, companies, libraries, the Ohio Archeological
and Historical Society (now the Ohio Historical Society), regional historical societies,
major Ohio newspapers and private and state funded universities in Ohio. The purpose
of the Commission was to coordinate state and local community efforts to collect and
preserve Ohio records related to World War II in order that future generations would be
able to study and understand the wartime activities of Ohio’s people.
The Commission provided advice and assistance to community organizations, libraries
and historical societies that were actively collecting war records. In the event that local
institutions were not prepared to collect and preserve war records, the Commission
accepted records to be stored in a central depository. Commission headquarters were
at the Ohio State Museum in Columbus, Ohio. The Commission developed broad
guidelines for the types of records that should be preserved and made recommendations
of what materials to collect to local institutions. War records, as defined by the
Commission, included any audiovisual, manuscript or printed materials, which
documented the wartime experiences of military personnel or civilians and community
activities related to the war effort.
In 1949, the commission was disbanded and the agency was closed.
