The Ohio Historical Society (OHS) is tasked to interpret, collect and preserve the state's heritage. Of primary interest is the Society's archeological collections.
An extensive exhibit, the "First Ohioans", was dismantled several years ago although a "virtual" exhibit remains online. Many of the artifacts on on permanent archival display at the museum, and may be "seen" via an online catalog.
In the last century, the society collected more than 1.5 million items pertaining to Ohio's history, archaeology, and natural history. One of the largest state historical organizations in the country, OHS now has membership of over 9,000.
A private, not-for-profit organization, the society serves, by statute, as the state's agent in historical matters in return for financial subsidy support that constitutes a portion of the OHS operating budget.
Note: Finder of rare Adena tablet denies permanent donation to Ohio Historical Society. See comment.
