Our department provides public access to an extensive collection of over 25,000 books, covering genealogical and historical topics from 48 states. Additionally, we house the most comprehensive archive of the Muskogee Phoenix on microfilm, dating from its inception in 1888 to June 2021. Highlights of our collections include comprehensive microfilm archives, local history materials such as regional maps and photographs, a wide array of genealogical reference books and guides, and ongoing digitization projects to preserve significant historical records, such as yearbooks. Our collection is named after Grant Foreman, a local historian and a Dawes Commission field worker; we house his collection of published materials including materials by his wife, Carolyn Thomas Foreman. We also house publications by C. W. “Dub” West and also hold original manuscripts, drafts, and research done by West within our archives. | |||
