The Palm Beach County Genealogical
Society Library opened at its new location in the Main Library
on February 15.
Incorporated in 1966 as a non-profit educational institution,
the Society and its library was formerly housed in the West Palm
Beach City Library downtown. Their collection is extensive, in
excess of 12,000 books and periodicals, and includes The Palm
Beach Post death indexes and family histories.
* Hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m.
* The library is staffed by volunteers who provide instruction
and assist people with their research.
* E-mail contact is ancestry@pbcgensoc.org and their phone
number is 561-616-3455.
The Genealogical Society
will increase the resources, programs and services available to
the public at no cost to the Palm Beach County Library
System. Genealogy research is one of the hottest hobbies in the
U.S. and the
Genealogy Research service already provided by our
Government Research
Service team at Main Library has been very popular. With
the addition of the Genealogical Society's library, we will be
able to expand and serve more clientele with this much-wanted
service.
A digital listing of print and microfilm research resources
available at the new PBC Genealogical Society Library is found
on their web site www.pbcgs.org.
Their holdings include a bound Palm Beach Post Index to Obituaries, 1980-86.
The Palm Beach County Genealogical
Society's address is:
