The
Oklahoma State
Archives and Records Management
preserves records for the state agencies of Oklahoma. One of the
collections of interest to genealogists is the
Land
Records Surveyor's Field Notes of which there are 235 volumes.
Available free on the site are many digital
collections. The search engine to these adobe acrobat files is on the
Oklahoma Crossroads
page. The files are very large and will take a long time to download. If there
is a collection you need to look at again, it would be advisable to save
it to your computer and place it on a CD or DVD to avoid the long download
time again.
The hours are on the
General Policies for Use of the Archives page. The link to the
Duplication Fee Schedule is located on that page. Interlibrary loans are
available to qualified interlibrary loan libraries. |
