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.
In 1999, me and my fellow crew did a documentary about the Resettlement
of Japanese Americans to Cleveland after the internment camp during
WWII, this was a small, and our first documentary product (with bad
audio/and such) but it was a part of the Cleveland history (we also
received a small grant from the Japanese American Citizens Leagues -
national and Cleveland chapter), we had a young man, Steve Yano, (June
22, 1982 - December 7, 2004), interviewing several of the members of the
Japanese Americans families, including Masumi Hayashi.
This 60 mins documentary was shown at festivals and cultural events, and
now it is available online entirely for you to enjoy, many of the
interviewees had passed away since 1999 and in a way, this documentary
is now part of Cleveland's history.
As part of the Asian community, I realized how important this would be,
documenting the past so we can learn from it and embrace the diversity
of our culture. Perhaps we all should make some sort of an oral history
of our past to remember it from...
