Hood was a Deputy United States Marshal of the Southern District of Ohio and a 1860 census worker in Ohio before Governor William Allen him appointed State Librarian. On March 26, 1874, Governor Allen appropriated an $1,800 annual salary for the State Librarian. Hood was known as a newspaper editor and credited with launching the Portsmouth Times. State Library Commissioners Governor W. Allen, Secretary of State A. T. Wikoff, and Hood praised the cataloging work of William Holden and Miss Harbaugh in the Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1874. They also requested authority to expend a balance of $2,964, left from the $12,000 appropriation in 1873, to enlarge the library’s skylight and cover the floor with carpeting. On February 4, 1875, Hood became the second State Librarian to die while in office. The year before his death, he wrote down his wishes for his funeral, and the note was found in his office at the State Library following his death. His personal burial requests were to be placed in a plain wood coffin and carried on a wooden frame by a group of men, and that no funeral notices or unnecessary expenses occur.

Harbaugh was sixty years old when he was appointed State Librarian. His career included time as a merchant and then superintendent of a Lutheran Sunday school. In the Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1862, State Library Commissioners Governor David Tod, Secretary of State W. S. Kennon, and Harbaugh complained of a lack of space and described government documents loosely laid on top of cases because the shelves were overcrowded. As a result, the library was appropriated $200 for additional shelving. In 1862, Harbaugh reported 25,400 volumes in the general and law library collections of the State Library. By 1870, there were 34,230. After a $12,000 appropriation for 1873, the library was expanded with alcoves and shelving. Harbaugh continued the work of his predecessor, creating a catalogue of all of the bound volumes with their proper classification and placement in the alcoves. As his age progressed and his health declined, he appointed his daughter Mary as Assistant Librarian. She held that position from 1869 to 1886. Until this time, women were not common in the library field and Mary was one of the first female librarians in Ohio.

Based on Curatescape Story item type. Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the entry. Jonathan Harper was a ship captain from Philadelphia before he became a prominent politician and then Ohio’s first State Librarian. He served as one of Governor Thomas Worthington’s lieutenants and then as State Librarian, which were both political appointments. As a State Librarian, Harper organized the library in rooms located in Ohio’s first state office building and created a record of the 509 books purchased by Worthington to establish a State Library. Harper began the first accession register on December 25, 1817. He was also responsible for researching and drafting laws for the Legislature. Harper was paid two dollars per day while the Legislature was in session. His life and career were fraught with scandal and tragedy. In 1819, Harper was involved in a dramatic legal case involving a Bank of America branch located in Ohio, which led to his arrest and eventual dismissal of charges. In 1822, Harper mistook his father in-law for a deer, fatally shot him, and returned to working on a ship after the accident. Harper survived a hurricane in 1850 while serving as a clerk on the Saranuk steamboat on the Mississippi River in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. At least three crew members were killed and several others were severely injured.

After eighteen months of keeping the library open with no funds and under the leadership of State Librarian Charles B. Galbreath, the State Library reopened in 1929 after Governor Myers Y. Cooper took office and approved the appropriations. George E. McCormick was endorsed by Governor Cooper and then appointed State Librarian by the State Library Board. McCormick was another newspaperman, having worked for the Marion Star, first as reporter and then editor from 1901 to 1926. He was the editor of the Lima Star until his appointment as State Librarian. The Annual Report of the Ohio State Library Feb. 8 to Nov. 15, 1929 begins, “When the State Librarian assumed office on February 1 of this year, he was faced with a problem somewhat like the physician who takes over the case of a patient after a long illness. Rebuilding and rejuvenating the whole system was found to be necessary.” After detailed descriptions of each department’s role and services provided by the library, McCormick ended the report stating, “With an eye single to the goal of improved service for the greatest number, we are sure beneficial results will follow the simple application of sane business methods combined with library technique and vision.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
