About Genealogy & Local History

Beardsley Library's Genealogy & Local History Collection 
is housed in two rooms that are named for former presidents of the library's Board of Trustees - Edward Payson Jones and Virginia T. Leighton. The collection focuses on family, town, and state history, and it includes reference, circulating, and digital resources.

 
A Research Assistant manages the collection, conducts research, and assists patrons.  We welcome all patrons, ages 18 and over, and children who are accompanied ​by an adult, ​
to make use of our resources!
