The Monroe County Local History Room & Museum’s award-winning website, MCLHR.org, was recently updated with over 200,000 additional searchable entries of Monroe County people, places, events, businesses, and groups. The website now includes over 1.4 million searchable records and photos. Is it time to search for your ancestors again?
The following indexes received updates: Newspaper Index, Cemetery Index, Student Records Index, High School Graduate Index, Plat Map Index, Census Index (1905 and 1930), and the LHR Archives Index. Additionally, over 2,500 Monroe County photos have been added to the Photo Index and two new indexes have been added to the website: Monroe County Yearbook Photo Index and Monroe County Incorporation Index.
Copies of records and photos can be ordered through the website for a small copy service fee. With the exception of photo reproductions, the copy service fees do not apply if you access the resources in person at the Monroe County Local History Room & Museum, 200 W. Main St., Sparta. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 9-4. Admission is free.
