I wanted to take a breather from my recent cataloging project to tell all of you about a research find that I made:

This website has so much information, you just have to go there to see it all!
There are Research Guides, Newspapers, Institutional Collections, and Civil War information, just to name a few.
What quickly made me stop and take a look:
Missouri Birth & Death Records Database, Pre-1910
Missouri Death Certificates, 1910-1962
