Library Collections

Genealogy

The library has a notable collection of genealogical materials, including approximately 10,000 individual family history volumes and genealogies, many of which are limited-printing editions and some of which are original typescripts or single copies.  We welcome ongoing donations of family histories compiled by genealogists.

Other resources include a variety of genealogical directories and registers, general guides to genealogical research, as well as information on Brooklyn New York City, Long Island, New York State and Connecticut vital records and cemetery inscriptions.  Also among the collection are complete or near-complete runs of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, the American Genealogical- Biographical Index, American Genealogist, and the National Genealogical Society Quarterly.
