Historical Preservation
Over the last 167 years, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office has played a key role in both state and national issues. Preserving and celebrating that history is important. Our office has embarked on an endeavor to collect artifacts from former Attorneys General to help tell the story of the office and those who have held the position of Attorney General. Images of the artifacts that have been collected follow below.
