Alabama Adds Several Archives Databases
The state of Alabama has added several archive databases to its archive search at http://www.archives.state.al.us/dataindex.html . There are four new databases in addition to the Civil War service database. The new databases are:
Hardbound Newspapers Database -- Includes original newspapers available at Alabama Department of Archives and History. Searchable by county, title, and newspaper type (African-American, Populist, or Religious.)
Newspapers on Microfilm Database -- As you might imagine, newspapers available on microfilm. Also searchable by county, title, and type.
Map Database -- Only browsable by topic, from "Alabama, General" to "Outside United States." Listings include author, title, date if available, and comments on the map.
Photo Database -- "This photo database contains images which have been requested by patrons since 2001. The photographs have been scanned and added to the database with thumbnail images. This database does not include all images in the ADAH collections." Searchable by keyword only. A search for "school" found 12 records. Bear in mind that thumbnail versions only are available in this index.
