Tarrant County Archives provide glimpse into past | Local News | News from Fort Worth, D... One quick dip into a box of 1877 criminal court records from Fort Worth dredged up an assortment of aggravated assaults, a hog theft, gambling infractions and seven "disorderly house" cases. But dirty dishes and dust bunnies weren't the reason men and women were fined $100 to $225; they were keeping house for "the purpose of public prostitution and a common resort for prostitutes." Those documents are among the 8 million or so pages of sometimes unexplored historic gems that are stored in the Tarrant County Archives, a 9,000-square-foot repository of everything from Elvis Presley's signature to a teacher's frontier journal and school kids' dioramas to more than 500 special collections. torylink=cpy<http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/03/04/3781830/tarrant-county-archives-provide.html#storylink=cpy> http://bit.ly/yAeTje Source: http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/03/04/3781830/tarrant-county-archives-provide.html See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/yAeTje+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
