Washington County was established in 1777 and the county seat, Jonesborough, was established in 1779; the oldest county and town in Tennessee. We have over a 1,000 family folders and over 400 local history folders along with books, microfilm, maps, etc. in the library genealogy collection. We are building a searchable database on these family folders and local history folders. In this data base, we also set up through ‘extensions’ a search engine.
We want to share this database with family researchers. But we would like to share with them a “read only” database that is searchable. This is our problem. How can we set up a “read only” database that researchers could use? We do not want to put this database on the internet. Is there a way that we can set up a searchable database that is only ‘read only?’
