This is a partial list of local repositories and the source material they have on hand. If you claim roots to the southern Indiana region, and will be traveling through, you may want to check out these repositories for information. I strongly recommend that you call these places before you visit to get their current hours of operation.

Note: None of these offices will give information over the phone. They are listed here as points for reference. Please, do not ask them for any information or to do searches for you. They will only answer questions that are general in nature; for example, if you are looking for a particular source document they will tell you if they have it or not.
