The
Nebraska State Historical Society
serves the purpose of the state archives by accepting records from all
levels of government in Nebraska. This society has done a wonderful job of
cataloging records and making
Government Records available to the public.
I especially like the Finding Aids for the
various levels of government. It requires Acrobat Reader to read them, but
that software is free. I was able to browse the description of all the
available records, many of which have been microfilmed. The
County Government Records page has a county outline map along with a
list of counties. Just click on the county name and the county catalog
book of records can be viewed.
Atlases/Plat Books, City/County Directories and other
published books are also available at the society. Visit their
home page
to learn about their services including photocopy fees and interlibrary
loans. |

1912 Atlas of Brown County
Nebraska County Atlases/Plat Books Name Index
- free online at Nebraska County Historical Society
This index is to 147 atlases of the estimated 500
county atlases or plat books in the Nebraska State Historical Society that
have been microfilmed. These
microfilmed atlases are available on interlibrary loan to local libraries
that participate in that service. When I scrolled down the page, I found a
place where I could search by a person's name. I put in a surname and a
list of atlases for that name appeared for me to study. The list gives the
full name, the county, year of the atlas and page number plus notes and
the number of microfilm reels. |
