Indianapolis, IN. 56 pp. $12.00. The W.P.A. Historical Records
Survey, 1988. These WPA sources are well known in Indiana and
used thoroughly because they list in alphabetical order the index to the
records of births, marriages and deaths for 67 counties. Not all of the
92 counties in the state were completed. This book covers the entire
country and lists many other categories of records done by this most
helpful project. Plus inventories of the court-houses showing what
records were available and where they were being kept in the 1930s.
Many other indices to records were made also. Directories of churches
and other religious organizations, church records/church archives,
county records/ archives, federal records/ archives, municipal and town
records, public records/ archives, state records/archives, vital
statistics records, manuscript records, microfilmed records/ archives
and miscellaneous data surveyed for each of the 48 states and the
District of Columbia. All of these categories, state by state, for
which records were found appear in this
publication. 56 pp. New
copies. $12.
