Research Requests
|
For over 70 years volunteer librarians and archivists have recorded historical and genealogical information for our library. Included in our archives are materials on Shakers and Union Village, National Normal University, local churches, some court records, photos, atlases, cemetery records and local newspapers, birth, marriage and death records. Using the Research Library located within Harmon Hall, our History and Genealogy Research Library is a wonderful source for researching your family records or Warren County and Ohio history.
Our Research Library is currently closed to all but staff. If you have a research request, please reach out to us through our contact page. Warren County Historical Library staff is available to do research for you for a fee of $20/hr. ($10/hr for members) |
