In January 2012 we began an ongoing project to create a surname index for the content of our Museum.
Our museum has a great collection of documents, in addition to artifacts, related to the history of the Town of Gorham. Although our content is filed in an orderly fashion, it is not easy for volunteers to assist researchers interested in a specific surname. A central surname index of our content will be a great benefit to both researchers and our volunteers.
What is an index?
An index is an ordered list containing limited information, with reference to resources for further study. An index usually contains only a small subset of the information that is contained in the original document. One of the Golden Rules of research is to always use an index to find and review the original document. Do not be content with findings in an index.
