Happy one month of Maddie Mondays! The research for the Auditor’s exhibit is in full swing. Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been utilizing the Commissioners journals and newspaper articles for my portion of the research.
The Commissioners journals were helpful for finding information about past elections, and I have continued to find interesting information in The Western Star archives. However, much of this week’s research was aided by the Warren County Genealogical Society. They provided me obituaries and various articles which have been helpful for accessing information about the personal lives and careers of past Warren County Auditors. For example, I have discovered several Warren County auditors that were Civil War veterans. I have been independently researching for the exhibit, but I have also been brainstorming designs and topics for the exhibit with the rest of the Records Center. On Friday, we visited the Corwin House to take photographs for the exhibit. I look forward to sharing a few more photographs and research in the Mondays to come!
