The materials are being cataloged and indexed by volunteers for use by researchers. A unique aspect of research materials is the tens of thousands of original source items dating back to the 18th century. These include plats, letters, diaries, scrapbooks, ledgers, and legal and business correspondence. Over 6000 photographic images complement the collection. All items are preserved in a professional manner and are carefully cataloged and cross-indexed.
Skilled attendants are eager to assist researchers.
