A Catalog of the
Ruby Robins Collection
Publications, articles, and other
information accumulated over the years by the late Ruby Robins, editor
and publisher of the Ozark County Times in Gainesville, Missouri, are available
for viewing and studying at the Ozark County
Library, across the street from the post office. This catalog is simply a listing of the materials in the Ruby
Robins Collection. The materials in the collection are open to viewing
and study by the public but may not be removed from the library.
We invite you to browse through this
interesting assortment of materials that Mrs. Robins collected over
the years. She filled filing cabinets, pocket envelopes, boxes, and
bookshelves with everyday articles and publications that have become
treasured resources for local-history lovers. We hope you will
enjoy browsing through the various categories just as we have enjoyed
going through the boxes and cabinets and shelves, discovering
treasures and triggering memories. Click one of the links listed on
the left side of this page to learn more about the Ruby Robins
Collection or about Ozark County and Missouri in general.
If you would like more information but
are unable to visit the library, contact Dorothy Gardner at
417-679-4442. She is available to discuss Ozark County genealogy and,
for a reasonable fee, will do additional research on the materials in
the Ozark County Genealogy room and the Ruby Robins collection.
