RESEARCH CENTER RESOURCES

 
The SCHS Research Library will close June 11-16, 2012 for a makeover.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.  We will reopen with a newly redesigned space, digital microfilm reader, new computers / desks / shelves, and WiFi access.
 

Whether searching for your ancestors or local history, out collection of microfilm, books, maps, photographs, objects and oral histories are useful resources.

Please complete the Look-up Request form to request a search by SCHS research library volunteer/staff.
