Florida's State Archives
The State Archives of Florida, located in Tallahassee, are a very good source of information for Florida-related genealogy. Most of the the holdings are available for viewing by the public during business hours, and reference assistance is also available via phone or email.
Some material is also available on line at Florida Memory Project. This includes service cards for Florida veterans of World War I, Confederate Pension applications (these were for Confederate veterans or their widows who were living in Florida when they
applied for the pension, regardless of where they were living when they enlisted).
Also online are guides to Civil War Records, African American Resources, and New Deal Records
