This material was collected by Monroe Work, director of the Department of Records and Research (the archives) and includes information from 1881 to 1936. The attached material is introductory in nature and is indicative of our entire collection. Included is a sampling of our original "lynching records" which are maintained in the archives' collection. Due to the delicate condition of these records, researchers can view the material using our micro-film collection. Also included are Monroe Work's statistical compilation of the information.
