Cameras may not be used except to photograph large-scale maps; microfilm copies can be saved to a USB drive. We do not use the coin function of the copy machine. You keep track of your copies and pay when you leave (15 cents per page).Holdings
We maintain files of obituaries as well as subject files on a variety of topics including neighborhoods, organizations, historic houses, etc. Our collection also includes city/county directories and old telephone books as well as files on families with particularly strong Arlington roots/connections, and maps including Franklin Survey and Sanborn Maps and aerial photographs. Local newspapers have been indexed since 1981, and the Arlington Historical Magazine, a rich resource for researchers is also indexed in an in-house file.
