Local History CD-ROMs
a tradestyle of
Between the Lakes Group LLC
We publish
history, genealogy, and Americana, specializing in recovery of local and regional history
of the United States.
Here, we provide
free material for your use. In some cases, it's here because we want to
gauge the level of interest on a subject -- and we hope that you think of it simply as useful and free.
You can find links to this material in the list to your left. Check back
frequently; we often add new material here.
There's also family or other historical information
here that we want to
make available but have no illusions about expanding into a full-fledged CD-ROM
offering.
| Of course, we also hope you
will take a look at our current catalog. You can scroll down this page to view
it. (Click on any of the "More information" buttons to learn more about
any of these, or to order a copy.
You'll automatically be directed to our web store, which is located at
www.betweenthelakes.com.
On our main site you'll find
considerably more information about each title, including indexes, lists
of contents, some pictures and maps, and other useful information.
(Not surprisingly, you'll also have an opportunity to purchase our
CD-ROMs, either on-line or via mail.)
