The Online Bookshelf
Here you will find copies of some, but not all, of the Family Histories and Research Notes that have been generously donated to the Archives Research Room. At the bottom of this page is "The Online Book Shelf List" which has all available books in .PDF form.
The documents, while in .PDF format are not searchable as text, as they were scanned using .JPEG utilities and converted into .PDF format. So in essence you have a photograph of the book that is located on our research shelves. In many cases, the book or notes are handwritten, and even contain photographs and copies of court records; and thus the image quality may not be as clear as we would like. If you are interested in viewing a better copy of the books, please visit with us in person.
As a courtesy to our patrons and donors, we maintain copies of these Histories and Notes; however we cannot attest to the validity of this information; nor do we endorse or verify the information contained in the documents housed within our Research Shelves, and thus placed on this website.
If you are the owner, or donor of the information contained in our Research Room and thus on this website, in .PDF form, and do not wish it to be housed on this website, please let us know at [email protected] or call at 601-482-9859.
If you have information that you would like to donate to the Lauderdale County Department of Archives & History, you can send it to us via US Postal Service as hard copy (paper) at PO BOX 5511, Meridian, MS 39302 or via .PDF format on CD or by email at [email protected]
