Card Catalog

The following is a search function for everything in the Regional History and Genealogy Library including books, family history files, periodicals, electronic records and special collections available for research.  They are non-circulating and may only be used in the library or on the paid section of our website. The “Location” columns are the key terms used to locate items. Some terms have special meanings: E-LIBRARY are records available on various computers in our library and OBCGS MEMBERS and E-BOOKS refer to resources available on our Electronic Records section of our website. To become a member of our Society or upgrade your membership to “Full Access” to connect with our Electronic Records section, CLICK HERE.

To search our Card Catalog, type any name or word in the “Search” box to the right of the table to retrieve all results. Each column has an additional filter (just below column label) to refine results, such as a particular author. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the table to see the full record. On tablet and mobile devices, part of the record is collapsed to save screen space. To see the full record (including Library location information), use the + icon in the first field of the record to expand that record. For more comprehensive guidelines, please see the Table Use Guidelines page (opens in a new browser tab). You can print out a report with listings you have found through the search tool. Bring that list to the library for help in finding these resources or send us a note through our CONTACT US page to ask for help in finding these materials.
