Introduction | Agency History | Order of Microfilming

 Introduction

The records of Mercy Hospital, 1939 - 2000, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in February 2002, with the cooperation of Jane Weber, Pastoral Care Director, of Mercy Hospital.

The collection consists of baptismal registers*, private baptism records*, and Sick Call Register. Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.)

According to Jane Weber, Pastoral Care Director, these records are the only ones available for microfilming.

This register and this collection was prepared by Jennifer Golis in February 2002.

*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

 Agency History
