Tombstone Archive and Reseach Center


Welcome to the archive and reseach section of this site. This page will be devoted to the presentation of exact copies of orginal documents about Tombstone and the characters that made it famous. This is being done in order to allow people to have access to these historical documents without having to travel to Tombstone or throughout the country. Unfortunately the quality of reproduction on some documents is not very good. These items will be indexed by historical figure, and I will try to cross-index material. Please be patient as this will initially be a slow process..

Underlined items are currently available. Others will be added in time. I hope that this is both interesting and helpful to anyone intersted in Tombstone history.
