Jim, The Archives' web page ( http://www.tngenweb.org/stewart/archives.htm ) explains the process for arranging a visit.  Since the Archives is staffed only about 1 day per week (usually Tuesdays), they ask that you contact them via email ahead-of-time, to be sure they're going to be open on your day of interest.  They'll also tell you the hours of operation on that day so you can plan your visit.  The web page mentioned above includes their email address so that you can contact them. The Archives is located in the Center For Teaching and Learning (former Dover Elementary building), next to the Public Library about a half mile south of downtown Dover. Enjoy your visit - hope you find lots of new information.  It's amazing what gems can be found in the Loose Papers and nowhere else.

Archives: 1830's Loose Records Ready The staff at the Stewart County Archives has completed the organizing, cleaning, filing and indexing of its Loose Papers from the 1830's. These papers represent about 500 separate civil and criminal cases heard in Stewart Circuit Court during the 1830's. I have updated the page on the Stewart County Genealogy web site that lists the Archives' holdings available for request-by-mail, to include these 500 additional case files: http://www.tngenweb.org/stewart/archives.htm Photocopies of the case files can now be ordered by mail from the Archives, and the originals are now accessible to patrons visiting the Archives in person.
