I live in Calhoun Co., in Weaver, not far from Anniston. The Alabama Room is open M-F 9-5, Sat. 9-4, and Sun 1-5 pm. The library is located at 108 E. 10th St., just one block off the main road, Quintard Ave (same as Hwy 431). The phone number is 256-237-8501, just ask for the Alabama Room. They know me well up there!! LOL Most of my family came into Calhoun Co. in the 1850's. For Calhoun County research you can't find a better place. It is a good source for Alabama information, also, although some of the other counties may not be as well represented as Calhoun Co. They do have all the census index and records for Alabama and Georgia. Some for TX, TN, SC, and I think NC. The folks up there are extremely helpful.
