Lucky Genealogy Library Gets Donation
The Glenn E. Martin Genealogy Library in Princeton, KY, got a sweet donation from City Hall.
A recent donation from City Hall to the Glenn E. Martin Genealogy Library offers the public a glimpse at a rich, if less-than-noble, facet of the community�s history.
City officials, in the process of moving records from the old City Hall on North Jefferson Street to the new building on East Market Street, removed seven crates full of bound volumes of police court dockets, judgments, bail bond issues, warrants and other documents.
These kinds of records are extremely valuable and it’s great to see that they are no longer stuffed in crates. I wish more city halls, courthouses, and other places where valuable records are kept would do a bit of housekeeping and make these records available to the public.
