County and Regional Histories and Atlases

Published by Primary Source Microfilm

Among the more important sources for American state and local histories are the county and regional histories and atlases published during the last quarter of the 19th century and during the early years of the 20th century. These histories offer easy access to an increasingly scarce and previously expensive source of information on the social, political and economic development of an area.

Originally compiled and produced by publishers and subscriptions agents for area residents and patrons, the original histories are difficult-to-find materials. Included in these sources are tables and lists of vital statistics, military service records, municipal and county officers, chronologies, portraits of individuals and views of urban and rural life not found anywhere else. The atlases provide additional information on land use and settlement patterns and scarce early town and city plans.
