The Shelby County Historical Society is very proud and honored to be the recipient of a grant from the Center for East Texas Studies at SFASU. Many thanks to Dr. Jere Jackson head of the Center for their many years of support to the society and museum. CETS contributed toward the purchase of a transcription machine so the society may start transcribing our oral histories. Also in the plans is the purchase of a mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) unit so volunteers may relocate all county cemeteries and assign a permanent longitude and latitude to them. This will greatly help preserve the location for the next 100 plus years. The third item or items is assistance with the purchase of archival supplies. Many thanks to Dr. Jackson and the CETS at Stephen F. Austin State University. More information will be released as the projects unfold. -- Shelby County Historical Society Shelby County Museum and Genealogy Research Library Post Office Box 1542 230 Pecan Street Center, Texas 75935-1542 tel:936/598-3613 fax: 936/591-0959 schs@panola.cc.tx.us www.panola.cc.tx.us/~schs Monday - Friday 1:00 - 4:00 Saturdays 10:00 - 2:00 After hours by appointment
