The Genealogy Library
Since the Carroll County Museum moved from the third
floor
of the
Courthouse to it's present location on the ground floor (west side of
the building), it has grown by approximately 90%. The Genealogy
department was added after the move in 1973 and is now a vital
part of the Museum.
Of the 85 cemeteries in Carroll Co., more than 90% of
these
have been indexed; all but 7 of the 85 are in book form
(unpublished) here in the Museum. Records from the Health Dept.,
local Funeral Homes, the county clerk's marriage applications (or
licenses), have been recorded and indexed. Several county
newspapers have been and are being "searched" for death
notices, births and other pertinent information. Since the Museum was moved in 1973, Phyllis Moore, the
Curator, began the expansion of the Museum and started the
Genealogy department. Thousands of records have been acquired
and recorded for access to the public. Our Carroll County, Indiana Historical Museum is open
to the public 36 hours a week for genealogy research and currently
contains the following materials: * Over 3,000 books
* Over 150 file drawers of index cards
* 52 file drawers of family files and documents
* 13,000+ scanned, catalogued and preserved photographs
* 14,000 photographs available for viewing on our website
* 14 file drawers of microfilm (census records and newspapers)
* Over 147,420 obituaries
* Bound volumes of older newspapers
* CD collections of genealogy material
* Numerous original ledgers, booklets, documents and artifacts
