I believe so, but I am not 100% sure. Here is the link to the library's site.; maybe it will help you. http://www.dclibrary.org/mlk/ I got the sense today that they are doing some kind of reorganization of the geneological section of the library (3rd floor), but they were very busy and didn't have time to answer very many questions. I do plan on returning to get a better idea of exactly what they have. I did see that they have at least some census info on microfiche and lots of newspapers. They had sporadic city directories on the shelf - some were in very bad shape with pages missing (I say sporadic because there were also years missing). I was told by someone else that they own some census index books, but I did not see any and did not get an opportunity to ask. -----Original Message----- From: Cecinit@aol.com [mailto:Cecinit@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 3:06 PM To: WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] 1931 Newspaper Article from the Washington Post Are there indices of Washington Post articles from before '77?
