Local History & Genealogy Center
About the Local History & Genealogy Center
The Local History & Genealogy Center houses the Library’s genealogy, local history and archival collections. Our genealogy collection includes books, microfilm, periodicals, databases, microfilm readers and public computers. We focus primarily on Trumbull County and Ohio, but also collect materials for the states from which many early Ohioans came.
Please request access to archival collections housed in closed stacks in advance. Same-day requests are not possible when only one staff person is on duty.
