Genealogy
The Arkansas Room

|
| Genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the country today and we now have more space for our genealogy patrons. In our genealogy section we have a good collection of books, microfilm, microfiche, maps and other reference materials. |
| Postcards and Note Cards with photographs are available at the Library and the Chamber of Commerce Office. Postcards are $1.00 and Note Cards are $2.00. |
| Many generous patrons have given us their family histories, maps, and other materials that are valuable tools in searching for Arkansas and especially Newton County roots. We accept any donations of genealogy materials in print or on computer disc. |
| We also welcome old photographs of Newton County or its residents. We have scanned many photos and have saved them on CD's. These photographs are indexed for easy access. If you wish, you can share photographs with us. Bring them to us or mail them to us and we will get them right back to you. You may purchase a copy of the photo CD's for $7.00 each. |
| The genealogist can do searches for you at a cost of $10.00 per hour and $.15 per copy. |
