Topics and families covered in the binders include:

Vertical files are a grab-bag, shot-in-the-dark at any research location. They're typically stored 'vertically' in a filing cabinet, as opposed to how books are stored on shelves. They can contain all sorts of research material compiled by other researchers or staff members. You may find family research, photographs, newspaper clippings, etc. Be sure to ask for them when you visit! Here is a (mostly complete) list of the vertical files at the Archives. 
The Fred Parker Killebrew Collection is a digital-only collection of documents, photographs and ephemera belonging to Stewart County native Fred Parker Killebrew (1926/2012), who was born and raised in the Parkertown community of northeastern Stewart County. The collection includes photographs of the Parker and Killebrew families, as well as documents and ephemera from those families. Fred Parker Killebrew was the son of David Brunson Killebrew and Cynthia Frances Parker of Parkertown, Stewart County. He graduated from Stewart County High School in 1944. Items in the collection include:
The Archives does not hold original church records (except as noted below), but we have collected digital images of many records of county churches. Our collection of church records currently contains the following:
 Standing Rock Church In 2022, Jane Bagwell donated to the Archives the 'field notes' created for the cemetery book that was published in 1983 by the Stewart County Historical Society. Each cemetery received its own yellow file folder, and each folder contains one or more transcriptions of the cemetery. The field work was done largely by employees of the Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency, of which Jane was the local Director. Transcriptions were typed and proofread by volunteers with the Historical Society. The cemetery book was published in 1983, and had been out-of-print for years, but was recently republished by the Historical Society and is available on Amazon. These folders provide great information that didn't make it into the cemetery book, such as a sketch of the cemetery showing the layout of graves. Digital images of this collection are available on our Google Drive.  The Brandon Buhler Collection was donated to the Archives in 2008 by Brandon Buhler of Clarksville. It documents the Buhler family that lived near Parkertown in northeastern Stewart County (present-day Fort Campbell). The family descends from brothers Ulrich (1838), Frederick (1842) and John (1849) Buhler, natives of the Canton of Berne, Switzerland. Ulrich came to Stewart County in 1869, with Frederick and John joining him in 1871. Included in the collection are
