VINCENNES — A southwestern Indiana county's library is electronically
preserving some of the state's earliest records and putting the most
historically significant documents online.
The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports that the Knox County
Public Library has obtained several grants to digitize the files.
The building housing the hard copies of the documents is not
climate-controlled to prevent the records from deteriorating. The most
important records have been relocated to the library's McGrady-Brockman House,
formerly a historical center.
Historical collection administrator Brian Spangle says the
library has digitized the earliest records dating from the 1790s to the
mid-1820s and posted them online.
Documents include marriage records, early will records,
probate files and criminal and civil court files.
Some of those files are searchable at
