How to Find Genealogical Manuscripts

Over the years, the H. Furlong Baldwin Library has received many genealogical manuscript collections, which are compilations of people's research into genealogy.  Collections are named for donors and their call numbers have a "G" prefix followed by a four-digit number.  The processed collections currently number from G5001 to G5121.  These collections may be requested at the reference desk in the Rhodes Local and Family History Reading Room.

There are three ways to find genealogical manuscript collections:

1. The most complete is to use the Genealogical Index, a card index available in the Library's Genealogy-Lower Room (F on the map available at the Library reception desk).  This cross-indexes the names of all major families mentioned in a particular collection.

2.  You also can use the Library Catalog and do a keyword search by last name.  Collections through G5115 currently are included in the Catalog.  This does not include the most recent G collections.

3. Lastly, brief descriptions of collections through G5105 are available below.  Please keep in mind that this does not include the most recent G collections.
