Ohio Speech-Language-Hearing Association records
Collection Overview
Scope and Contents
The collection of materials for OSLHA is diverse, covering more than 20 linear feet. The records range from proceedings to video/slide shows. The dates range from 1946-2012.
The largest record group is the proceedings. The largest of this is the records from the Legislative Council meetings. The records begin in 1975 and continue through 2001 with a few later additions. This is also one of the richest record groups in that it gives a wealth of information about OSLHA. In each meeting there is information of all the committees as well as about OSLHA’s purposes and goals.
Another strong record group is the Printed Material. In this group there are sets of OSHA Newsletter, OSHA Therapist, Communications Matter, and Hearsay. All of these publications discuss OSHA and the context in which it works throughout Ohio.
The Legal Documents is another strong source of information. In this record group there is the OSLHA Constitution and amendments, as well as Ohio’s laws and standards.
Membership records are numerous and give a demographical record of the members of OSLHA.
Both correspondence and financial files are the least informative because they are scattered in years and scope.
