Several stops can lead to the same repository. Maps show selected verified locations, not every guide stop or every community represented in the records. Use each stop’s access instructions, including for online and out-of-county collections. Check access before traveling.
Call the museum before visiting and request the named records. NMU documented these holdings in a site survey, not a current online catalog; ask staff to confirm survival, processing and research access.

Repository informationCounty outlines: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 cartographic boundaries . Selected major roads: 2024 TIGER/Line primary and secondary roads . Public repository addresses checked against the sources above, with approximate Census geocoder positions. Unmatched addresses and out-of-county repositories are listed in the key rather than assigned a guessed position. Markers identify contact locations, not collection coverage. Historical boundaries, township lines and current traffic conditions are not shown. Prepared November 1, 2026.
NMU surveyed Newberry School District administrative records, approximately 1885-1900, and township minutes and tax material, approximately 1920-1950.
School material is not student grade reports. Approximate survey dates require confirmation; no automatic date matching for these unconfirmed spans.
The survey also identifies Newberry Fire Department minutes and finances, approximately 1930s-1950, and Charcoal Iron Company business records and photographs, approximately 1920-1944.
These are organizational records, not a promised employee roster. Current access and individual file dates need confirmation.
Historic logging photographs and equipment, original CCC buildings and the Pratt one-room schoolhouse provide occupational and school-setting context.
No student registers, employee files or complete CCC enrollment lists are claimed. Exhibit history is not a dated archival coverage range.
Log-labor liens span 1888-1940 plus 1954 (RG 71-115). Teacher institute fees cover 1892-1920 plus 1934 (RG 68-72).
Separate single-year entries from continuous spans. A fee record is not a pupil register.
Emergency relief payroll survives for 1934 (RG 68-72); Rural Property Inventory spans 1936-1942 (RG 72-76).
Ask which township and property sheets survive. Payroll is a single-year lead, not a full history of assistance.
Give the repository the locality, year, collection and specific question. Ask about the relevant volume or folder, gaps, access restrictions and copying costs. Save the citation and record what you searched, including searches with no result.

Use these dated holdings to choose a next search. This is a selection of cataloged collections, not a complete inventory of Luce County records.
A range is a lead, not a guarantee. Bars show the dates stated by the cited catalog or inventory. They do not establish uninterrupted coverage, complete reporting or online image access. Unmarked years mean not represented in this selection, not that records were destroyed. Indexes and abstracts still need to be followed to the underlying record.

Confirm the historical jurisdiction as well as the date. A record may be held outside today’s county, and an inventory’s ending year does not mean recordkeeping stopped.
