This document reflects the record locations as they existed during the years I worked at the Auglaize County Courthouse. At that time, these offices were the proper custodians for the materials listed here and generally remain so until records are formally archived, often to Wright State University’s Archives. Because record management changes over time, some collections may now be housed elsewhere, so researchers should verify current locations with the appropriate county office.
