7th Floor Records | Bound Volumes and Indexes
The 7th Floor Records Project is a special project of the Tuscaloosa Genealogical Society Inc. with a mission to preserve, digitize, index, and publish the 19th century court records that were previously stored on the 7th floor of the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse.
The bound records collection consists of 539 volumes ranging in date from 1822 through 1961. As of 1 September 2022, all 539 of the volumes have been filmed and 265 of them have been indexed. Volunteers are now working on making all images and indexes available on the new TGS website hosted by FastPages. As of December 18, 2024, all the galleries and indexes are available for viewing.
Thank you for your patience as the individual names are linked to their images when an index exists. Books taken from the courthouse are linked up to 1834. We hope you find joy and connections with these court records. If you are interested, we welcome anyone who would like to participate in linking images with their names. Please reach out to Jan Hutchison with any questions.
We would like to index all books. See the galleries of all the bound volumes on the Tuscaloosa Genealogical Society (TGS) website by clicking the 7th Floor Book Indexes and Galleries. Browse the books that have not been indexed yet. Review the unindexed books to see if any interest you. Contact Betty Wedgeworth for instructions and access to the indexing template. She will guide you on the process and provide any necessary support.
