The River Falls Area Research Center (UWRF ARC) has a variety of resources to help you locate information on deceased individuals located in Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix Counties (our regional area). These records include vital records created by local county government, cemetery indexes, obituaries in local newspapers, published materials, and records of churches and burials. Some of these resources are searchable in Search@UW and AtoM, our archival search tools, as well as the UWRF Area Research Center records index.
