Digital State Archives - Florida

Florida has some of the oldest European settlements in the US, and the records to prove it. Their state archives go back to the days of Sir Francis Drake, and include online copies of original Spanish land grants. This is a collection well worth exploring, even if you're not quite sure if your family tree has spent any time basking in the Florida sun.
