There's also the multimedia collection (mostly photos) of the Joe Munroe Archives, a photojournalist, film maker, and environmental activist
Family history types will appreciate the Ohio Online Death Index, 1913-1937...the index information will allow you to order a copy of the death certificate.

The Cincinnati Library has a nice collection of old city directories to view or download:
