Collection was microfilmed in 1967 prior to being returned to the Ste. Genevieve County Court
from the Missouri Historical Society where it had been on loan for approximately 50 years. The
Missouri Historical Society has a set of the 1967 microfilm (microfilm reels #43-54). An index
to the collection titled Early Missouri Archives was published in 1941 by the Missouri Historical
Records Survey, Division of Community Service Programs, Work Projects Administration (call

The collection was filmed again in 1978; we have a finding aid to this set, but we do not have
the microfilm. Reels of the 1978 set of microfilm (C3636) can be obtained at any of the four
branches of the Western Historical Manuscript Collection (WHMC), located on the four
campuses of the University of Missouri. WHMC also makes the microfilm available via
interlibrary loan.
