A year and a half ago, I wrote a post titled, "County Histories and Biographies (Mug Books)," in which I listed numerous online digital book sites where you can find these rich resources. Since that time, I have found more state-specific sites, either at the state websites themselves, or on genealogical web-hosting sites. Some have text-only pages and/or only have a few county books listed, while others have dozens of mug books in glorious digitized format. I hope these continue to be helpful in your research.
