The collection, begun as a concerted reference services effort in the early 1950s, contains a variety of materials in a wide variety of formats including newspaper clippings, magazines, pamphlets, photographs, books and bound volumes, public records, business documentation, genealogies, and personal family histories.

Over 1500 volumes are available for public use any time the Library is open. Other materials that are housed in library storage may be accessed at the discretion of select staff members when inquiries are made in advance.
