Staff of Manatee Village Historical Park and the Manatee County Clerk of Court Historical Resources Department continuously conduct research on a wide variety of topics. Here, you can read articles written by staff members. We regularly update this site with more articles and research, as well as update the articles themselves as more sources come available. 

We encourage you to utilize this as a source for your own research. All of the primary source documents and many of the secondary source documents we use are available upon request. If you have a source that you think would be helpful to our research on any of these topics, we would like to know! Please contact us at manatee.village@manateeclerk.com.
