The Tennessee State Library & Archives has microfilmed bound records in each Tennessee county. This list shows the earliest year for which each type of record is held in each county. There may be gaps in a county's later records where there have been fires or lost volumes. An inventory to county microfilm reels is available on the TSLA web site.
