The Greene County Archives is the repository housing county records of historical and genealogical value. The goal of the Greene County Archives is to ensure the availability and accessibility of the historical and genealogical records to the public.

The mission of the Greene County Records Center and Archives is to advise and assist all county offices with the proper management of records throughout their lifecycle and ensure that they are maintained and legally disposed of pursuant to Ohio’s records laws. The Records Center and Archives also serves the public by protecting, preserving, and providing access to public records that document the history of Greene County.

In this vein, the Greene County Records Center and Archives will:

•Identify, collect, appraise, organize, and preserve records with historical and/or evidential value, in all formats, as created by the elected officials, administrators, and employees of Greene County;

•Provide Greene County Offices with an environmentally sound and secure storage location for inactive records with historical and/or evidential value;

•Provide Greene County Offices with professional and knowledgeable records management services;

•Provide our patrons, both internal and public, with prompt responses to administrative and research requests;

•Provide programs, resources, and outreach activities to increase public awareness about the value of the public records that we preserve.
