WHAT'S NEW ON THIS SITE

We are constantly seeking to improve our site. We have a vast amount of information available to us through the work of a number of volunteers both here in Jefferson County and all across the country. Much of the material we are able to add here, for your convenience, was researched and prepared up to forty years ago and put on the shelves of our local library. Listed below are some additions and the dates the items were added to this site in recent months. If you are unable to find just what you want, we invite you to come back often and check this page to see if we have added what you were wanting to see. If you want to be notified when new things have been added to this page just put your email address in the box below and we will email you when the page has changed.
