Doane was city editor of the Ohio State Journal before he served two years as Assistant State Librarian for Francis B. Loomis. He was appointed State Librarian in 1887 by Governor Joseph B. Foraker. His time as State Librarian was uneventful. From 1891 to 1898, Doane was the city clerk of Columbus. Unlike his term as State Librarian, Doane’s time as a city clerk was tarnished by corruption and scandal. In 1894, he was arrested for jury tampering in the case of W. Z. McDonald, whom he favored. Four years later he abruptly left town with his family. When he was found looking for employment in Cincinnati, he claimed that he had resigned his position as City Clerk. Doane was accused of fraud for writing fake checks. After not finding work in Cincinnati, he traveled to Pittsburgh where he returned to newspaper work. He was a night editor for the Pittsburgh Dispatch and then copy editor for the Detroit Free Press. In 1933, Doane died after being struck down repeatedly by three cars while walking across the street in Detroit.

Loomis held positions as a reporter and Republican Party correspondent. In 1885, he was dispatched by the Philadelphia Press to cover Joseph B. Foraker’s successful gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. Governor Foraker then appointed Loomis as State Librarian in 1886. The Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1886 reflects his interest in preservation in this statement, “An effort is being made by the Librarian to secure a complete file of all the newspapers published in Ohio, in order that a record of current history may be kept at a central point, accessible to all persons.” Loomis made many connections in Ohio and was selected by William McKinley to work for his presidential campaign in 1896. He was appointed by President William McKinley as U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela in 1897 and to Portugal in 1901. Other federal positions held by Loomis included U.S. Assistant Secretary of State from 1903 to 1905, and as a special ambassador for various foreign trips around the world.

Pierson was a Presbyterian minister and author of numerous books before his service in Ohio as State Librarian. Originally, he aspired to be a foreign missionary, but due to his poor health he became a traveling minister for the American Bible Society. He served as President of Cumberland College in Princeton, Kentucky from 1858 to 1860. In 1869, he was forced out of Georgia by the Ku Klux Klan for his humanitarian efforts to help people recently freed from slavery. Pierson wrote about his experiences as a traveling minister in his book, Into the Brush: Old-Time Social, Political, and Religious Life in the Southwest, published in1881. In the Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Library for 1885, a letter to the people from Pierson was included as an appendix. He wrote, “There are hundreds of invaluable books written by Ohio authors, either native or resident, that I do not find on our catalog. I think a just State pride should impel an early collection of all such books in the State Library, both for our own reputation, and for the benefit of present and succeeding generations.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Conard had a background in journalism and was editor of the Mansfield News prior to his term as State Librarian. His interest in literature was reflected in his efforts to increase its representation in the collection. The Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1883 stated, “In the purchase of books during the year, an effort was made to select such literature as would add to the already high character of the Library as a reference Library, and increase its value to the people of the State as a repository of scientific, historical, and biographic works, not ordinarily found in private or circulating libraries.” Conard was later known for writing non-fiction books about the American West. His best known work, Uncle Dick Wootton, the pioneer frontiersman of the Rocky Mountain region, was published in 1890 and is considered a classic piece of literature in detailing the history of the western United States. Conard interviewed Richens Lacy “Uncle Dick” Wootton to create the biography. In addition to writing numerous non-fiction works, Conard also delved into fiction with his book Reconstructing Eden in 1909, which incorporate themes of social conduct, drinking, and temptation from evil.

Geiger was an attorney, Pickaway County Prosecuting Attorney, general in the Ohio Militia, Ohio Senator, and briefly served as a clerk of the United States courts in Cincinnati before his appointment as State Librarian. Geiger was known for his charming personality and oratorical skill, but also for his odd and eccentric ways. As a political appointee of Governor Charles Foster, Geiger had his opponents. One went so far as to claim the library was in such a filthy condition that it kept visitors away. However, the Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Library for 1882, stated the library was now a source of pride. “We believe the library has never been in a better condition than now. It is clean, books all carefully arranged, and visitors are well accommodated. We recommend an appropriation for new furniture, and if a new carpet were finished in addition, our State Library would equal, if not excel, any State Library in the Union.” The report also noted an increase in students from Ohio State University using the library. Following his death, Geiger’s obituary read, “There was but one mould when he was born and thereafter broken. He died leaving none to rival or imitate him.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kerr was a teacher, county school superintendent, and county recorder before he purchased and became the editor of The Clermont Sun in 1864. Kerr was appointed as State Librarian at the end of his term as an Ohio Senator. In 1880, the library purchased the Arthur St. Clair papers. St. Clair was the Governor of the Northwest Territory from 1788 to 1802. Many of the papers were damaged and in some cases only fragments remained. While in the care of the State Librarian, it was discovered that forty-four letters from General George Washington, relating to several revolutionary campaigns and affairs of the Northwest Territory, were among the papers. The State Library Commissioners recommended publishing the papers in order to preserve the documents while making their contents accessible. Kerr fell ill while working in the library in March 1881 and requested Assistant Librarian Mary Harbaugh to return to the library that day so he could go home. He passed away the next day.

Robinson’s term as State Librarian, improvements to the collections, cataloging, and the printing and distribution of catalogs continued. The ceiling was remodeled and admired for its artistic appearance. The enlarged skylight provided greater light and ventilation in the library. Prior to being State Librarian, Robinson was the first State Printer of California, editor and principal owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and in 1855 he was the first United States Marshal in the Southern District of Ohio. As a U.S. Marshal, he was directly involved in the slavery case of Margaret Garner. Under federal law, he escorted Garner and her family back to slave handlers in Kentucky after her trial. State government disapproved of the Garners being sent back and charged Robinson with contempt of court and placed him in jail. The state believed he went against a court ruling by taking the Garners out of local custody. Robinson referred to the order stating he was following the federal Fugitive Slave Act. He was later cleared and continued to serve as U.S. Marshal until his resignation in October 1856. More than a century later, author Toni Morrison was inspired by the case. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for Beloved, a historical novel loosely based on events from the Garner case.

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.

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.
