The Genealogy &
History Department of the
Shelby
County Public Library provides housing for documentation dating as far back as
1822 for Shelby County, Indiana and surrounding counties. Over 3,500 family and
history folders contain invaluable information from Shelby County’s earliest
organizations and settlers. The grant award will fund the purchase of a
mobile scanner that will be used to help visitors
preserve valuable family photos and documents, as well as to quickly share
these with the library so more information can be added to the department's
family files.
