Classic Livingston County History Books

There are four classic Livingston County history books. These are commonly referred to as the 1878, 1888, 1900, and 1909 Volume 2 history books. Three of the books (1878, 1888, 1909 Volume 2) have been digitized and are in word searchable PDF files. The 1900 book has been digitized and converted to a PDF file, but it is not word searchable. For the 1909 book, check the index in the book to see whether or not the name you are searching for is included in the book or not.

 

All four books are available from the web site Archive.Org. These books can be downloaded by clicking on the links below.

NOTE: The 1900 history book is not word searchable. One must go to the book index and see if the person you are interested in is in the book or not.

If you download all four files, you can search roughly 6,000 pages in just 5 minutes or less.

If you would rather have each history book on a CD that you can search, you can buy a CD for $5.00 each at the Fairbury Echoes Museum. You can buy all four CD's for a total of $20.00.
