Issues of The Columbia contain a variety of extracted and transcribed records from Columbia County and beyond—many of which cannot be found anywhere else online. These materials often represent previously unpublished records from private individuals, churches, and other record holders. Materials include cemetery records, church records, bible records, church membership lists, tax and assessment lists, state and federal censuses, family papers, guardianship papers, military records, minute books and many more.
These volumes are text searchable—searches entered from this page will query issues currently in this collection. The images can also be browsed by clicking the links below, which will take you to the beginning of the issue you are interested in reading.
