The Yazoo Library, Yazoo Library Association has began a process of creating a county archives at the library. The circuit Court record packets dating back to 1859 to about 1890 are currently being organized and indexed by number, name, etc. They had been in basement of courthouse crammed in a hallway for 80 years.
We also have 1880-1910 approx. chattel deeds and other volumes of Civil War service records bound volumes yet to be indexed.
As time and space allow volumes stored at old School in County will be moved to our facility and a list will be compiled. The 19th century items have been moved into a dry room in the old school until they can be moved.
Volunteers visiting the area are welcomed to help index.
Sincerely,
Paul Cartwright
Director
