Hidden Gems
Now that you've done the majority of the research on your house history, you may be interested in finding some of the hidden gems that might be available. If you're lucky, you might be able to find old photos of your home, blueprints, tapping records, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, building permits, plat maps, etc.
​
Some of these resources can be found online through archival Digital Collections. However, these types of resources will likely need to be accessed in person, at either a library, archive, university, or historical society.
