The Local History and Genealogy Department of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library is located on the third floor of Historic Main Library. Its collections can be divided into two major areas: local history of Toledo and Lucas County, Ohio, and genealogy.
The genealogy collection began in 1940 by focusing on Ohio, adjacent states and the original thirteen states. The department began purchasing materials about states west of the Mississippi River in the late 1980s.
Our wealth of information, extensive resources and knowledgeable staff are here to assist and guide you through history.
Please note the department is a reference department and therefore does not circulate its materials.
