Individuals submit a manuscript copy of a family or local history they have written and the Genealogy Center photocopies the document twice, placing one hardcover copy in the Center's collection and returning one hardcover copy and the original manuscript pages to the author | One of the creative ways the Genealogy Center collection grows is through its Photocopy Exchange Program.

The most important resource of the Genealogy Center is the attentive and experienced reference service offered to on-site patrons by its seven full-time reference librarians. They have a combined total of more than 150 years of genealogy research experience. From providing suggestions for untangling a tricky research problem, to aiding in the use of the collection, to instructing how to use the equipment in the Genealogy Center, the librarians are happy to assist patrons. | |||
Those who cannot visit the Genealogy Center in person may need copies from specific sources held by the center, broader research done in the collection, or copies of articles found by searching the Periodical Source Index (PERSI). The Genealogy Center has a Research Center arm that provides these services and long-distance patrons may use the [http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/QuickSearchRequest.pdf Quick Search], [http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/ResearchServicesRequest.pdf Research Request] and [http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/ArticleRequest.pdf Article Request] forms on the Center's website to request copies or research. | |||
