'''George H. Liebegott Collection'''
{''Please briefly '''describe the strengths and weaknesses''' of each collection for genealogists (about two or three sentences for smaller collections).<ref>Source 2.</ref> For example, explain the collection size, who (which ethnic, political, or religious groups) are covered, dates covered, jurisdictions covered, record types available, significant indexes, and any noteworthy record loss or gaps.<ref>Source 3.</ref>''}
 
This collection is a gathering of genealogical facts from the families of the Morrison Cove region of South-central Pennsylvania. It was compiled by George H. Liebegott, a native of Blair County, beginning in 1930 and continuing through the late 1950’s by sending forms to the households of the region requesting that they be filled out and returned to him. It consists of 247 binders of returned information compiled and cataloged by Mr. Liebegott.  


The actual George H. Liebigott Collection is held in the Martinsburg Community Library, 201 South Walnut Street, Martinsburg, PA 16662-1129. This library is just a short 12.5 miles and 20 minutes away from the BCGS. An index to the collection containing Surname and Given Names is available at the BCGS building. The index is also available on FS Library Film number 331446 and [http://digitalcollections.powerlibrary.org/cdm/landingpage/collection/pmbcl-li online].
=== Tips  ===


A microfilm copy of this collection is also available through the FS Library on 132 microfilms (FS Library #331446 through 331577). Film number 331446 is a card index to the Surnames and Given Names in the collection. These films may be ordered through your local FamilySearch center. As time and finances are available the Martinsburg Community Library is digitizing this collection.
{Optional}
The forms sent to the households contained the following categories:  Name, date of birth, date of death, name of parents, vocation, religious affiliation, date of marriage, name of spouse, spouse’s date of birth, spouse’s parents, their vocation and religious affiliation, address, names of children, their birth dates, their death dates, their marriages and children.


'''Floyd G. Hoenstine Rental Library Collection'''
=== Guides  ===


A collection of approximately 3,000 books which formerly comprised the Hoenstine Rental Library, purchased by BCGS as a unit, and indexed in:
{''Optional: Internet or guide books describing this collection for genealogists. ''}
''Guide to Genealogical Research in Pennsylvania,'' by Floyd G. Hoenstine, 1978. Surname and topic index to the first 2,500 books in the former Hoenstine Rental Library. Three supplements were subsequently published: Supplement 1 in 1985, Supplement 2 in 1990 and Supplement 3 in 1995. These provide an index to books added to the collection after the initial Guide was published.

'''''Overlapping Collections'''''<br>


This collection includes yearbooks, catalogues, event programs, newspaper clippings, and many photographs. The school under its various names, Hollidaysburg Seminary, Miss Cowles' School, and Highland Hall, is well represented by the collection's documentation of the building structure, the staffs, and students. For most of its long use, Highland Hall was an academic preparatory school for young ladies. There were also male students for the first few years. Many of the young ladies came from the local area but also from around Pennsylvania and around the country. It is a rare archive of women's maiden and married names for the era.
