New NARA prices for Reproductions of Records

The National Archives Records Administration's changes include revising the fees for some fixed-fee reproductions, especially reductions in fees for full Civil War and Revolutionary War pension files.

Adams County Geographic Information System

The Adams County Geographic Information System has been revamped. Many new features have been added to the existing site. If you are planning to visit Adams County, use this site to locate hotels and restaurants. A click on one of these icons will show the name, address and phone number of the business.

Township maps from the 1872 Atlas of Adams County will be of special interest to genealogists. Also, maps are provided showing locations of existing cemeteries in the county.

Quincy and Adams County officials made the information available to the public. The firm of Poepping, Stone, Bach and Associates has played a key role in the design and maintenance of the GIS system.
