The book entitled "A History of Livingston County, Illinois" compiled by the Livingston County History Project, was published in 1991 by Curtis Media Corporation of Dallas, TX. They did many county histories in the last 20 years, and seemed to set up the same system for each - finding a local person to be the contact and to whom write-ups could be sent by contributors. Some short, basic article size was free, and anything beyond that, plus any photos, cost an additional amount. I believe Newberry Library in Chicago has copies of at least one, and I think two or three, earlier Livingston County Histories. No doubt the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana would have them too. I believe both libraries will make copies of pages in history books, but I don't know if they will do the searching through them, especially since these early books had no index. The 1991 Curtis Media book is indexed. Linda (Lightholder) Kmiecik
