  • HISTORY of BIRMINGHAM FUN FACTS About Birmingham
    HISTORY OF BIRMINGHAM Founded in 1871 at the crossing of two railroad lines, the city blossomed through the early 1900s as it rapidly became the South’s foremost industrial center. Iron and steel production were a natural for Birmingham; underground lay abundant key ingredients—coal, iron ore and limestone. As an industry town, Birmingham suffered greatly in the Depression. After World War II the city grew moderately while retaining its strong Southern character. At the same time a profound movement toward diversification was afoot. The huffing and puffing of Birmingham’s legendary iron and steel mills was gradually replaced by a work force of medical and engineering professionals. Today, Birmingham enjoys a balance of manufacturing and service-oriented jobs in a thriving work force. Civil Rights Long known as a city of civil rights conflict and reconciliation, Birmingham has matured into a city that acknowledges and embraces the impact of our past, both negative and positive. Opened in the 1990s, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is a moving and educational example of how a city found a way to heal itself. Looking at the city today, there is little evidence of the scarring, though it will always be with us. Today’s social scene is the picture of diversity as well, with folks of all ethnic backgrounds enjoying and learning from one another, arguing issues of the day, and sharing professional and social time together in an era that has made the old days almost invisible. FUN FACTS about Birmingham Birmingham’s world-class musical talent has put the city in the national spotlight with two winners from the mega hit TV show American Idol.

  • Interment Records of the Red Mountain Cemetery, 1888-1906
    BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT Interment Records of The Red Mountain Cemetery, 1888-1906 Burial records transcribed from the Interment Book Collection 1015 Scope and Content: Burials in the Red Mountain Cemetery, also known as the Southside Cemetery located along the western boundary of the Birmingham Zoo in Lane Park, Birmingham, Alabama. Restrictions: Standard preservation and copyright restrictions. Prepared By: Gary G. Gerlach, 2004 The Interment Book was a commercially produced ledger bound with the cover embossed “Record of Interment” and each page is printed with the header “Record of Interment, ______Cemetery”. Each page is 14 inches by 16 inches and double sided. Each side of a page will hold approximately 40 handwritten entries. Seventy-two of the 125 pages have entries. The name of the cemetery was written in at the top of a few pages and varies: ‘South Side’, ‘New South Side’ and ‘Bham South Side’. This name was apparently the common, public name appearing in City Directories but the cemetery was referred to as the Red Mountain Cemetery in the formal records of the City of Birmingham. Each page has columns as noted in the following record, except for “Comments” which consists of notes that were written amongst the records and also the clarifications and remarks of the transcriber. Entries that are blurred or otherwise questioned by the transcriber are enclosed in brackets ‘[]’. Due to obvious poor spelling and the difficulty in interpreting the varied penmanship, most names and comments are printed as best the transcriber could interpret. Where the word seemed obvious under the ‘Cause of Death’, the apparent meaning is typed and the attempted spelling from the Interment Book is placed in parentheses ( ).
