Our Information Center and Library is located at the Temple and includes both our own records and those of the Lewis County Research Center, which we maintain for the Lewis County government and, as a department of the County, includes a variety of County records. The Information Center and Library is open year-round whenever the Historical Society is open, and all research is free. (Those requiring access to the records of the Information Center and Library on off-hours should please contact our Office Manager, who will try to accommodate your requests.)
Among the materials we have available at the Research Center are the following:
We work closely with the Lewis County Clerk, whose office is the official “keeper of the records” for many public records of Lewis County, as well as court records of the Supreme Court and the County Court in Lewis County. We can direct you to additional County records still held in the Clerk’s Office, which is just up the street from the Historical Society. These include such things as the following:
