HISTORICAL SKETCH

On March 11 1994 in Columbus, Ohio, members of the State Council for Ohio Health met with the Ohio Health Information Organization (O.H.I.O.) to merge and launch a new and broader-based organization, the Ohio Health Sciences Library Association (OHSLA). It was believed that this merge would produce a stronger organization that could better represent the organization in the time of financial downsizing, political upheaval, and ever increasing technology. This merge also provided a wide geographical base of members and offices. Since 1994, OHSLA has biannual meetings in Spring and Fall.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The OHSLA records are generated by OHSLA. The four series for OHSLA collection are: Activities, Administration, Associated Group, and Photographs. The collection contains records, newsletters, photographs, overheads, and pamphlets accumulated by OHSLA members.

The collection is particularly strong in the documentation of meeting reports and the newsletter, “OHSLA Voice.” The collection contains several undated items.
