Visitors to the website of the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) can now access family Bible records previously available only to patrons visiting TSLA’s building. Over the past few years, TSLA volunteer Cinamon Lily Collins scanned more than 1,500 family Bible records held at TSLA. Most of the records were photocopied from privately-held family Bibles and preserved at TSLA by archivists and librarians. A new database on the TSLA website allows researchers to browse these records in their entirety, and a search function will ultimately include all of the thousands of names written in these unique documents. To see if TSLA holds a Bible record for your family, visit the project online at tnsos.net/TSLA/Bibleproject/”>tnsos.net/TSLA/Bibleproject/”>tnsos.net/TSLA/Bibleproject/. Individual names in most Bibles for surnames A through J have also been indexed.
