Local & Family History: the town's service point for its own past

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The department's own handout and the board-approved policies, at pointer strength for holdings — classes named, no town inventory claimed

The library's local-history department is where this town's paper past is served from. Local & Family History Services sits on Main's third floor, 304 S. Main Street (hours Monday–Thursday 9 a.m.–7 p.m., Friday–Saturday 9–5), holding the county's archival collections, the map case in which the 1863 Stokes/Shober county map is listed, the Tribune Photographs Collection behind the Michiana Memory digital shelf, and the genealogist's working tools — the county obituary index and the library editions of the great databases. Its scope is the county, so what it holds for Indian Village is the county's record read at the town's address, plus whatever its clipping files gathered; no town-specific holding was inventoried, and none is claimed — whether a clipping file under the town's name exists stands as a named gap (G3-9), with the department's own file list as its settler. For a town whose own records sit in its clerk-treasurer's custody and whose history must be assembled from county paper, this room — not any town shelf — is the working archive, and it prints here at exactly that standing.
