Our collections are of national importance owing to the many unique resources that we offer.

The West Florida War was published in book form in 1989 and, after three printings, is now out-of-print. It is being made available here in its entirety to assist those researching family connections to the Battle of Marianna and in the hopes of stimulating new interest in this nearly forgotten Florida battle.

Many of the microfilmed archival documents at the Center for Historic Research have been translated and entered into a database on AREV software, the size of which is now 14.5 million bytes. This database holds 3,814 documents, 4,978 biographical files and 3,230 culture files.
