History & Genealogy Research
The Lawrenceburg branch houses the Lawrence County Room, a permanent collection of over 900 books, 500 rolls of microfilm, and many other reference materials pertaining to local history and genealogy. All is available for unlimited use but cannot be removed from the Lawrence County Room.
The Lawrence County Public Library is an affiliate research center of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. This means anyone logged in to their Familysearch account through the library’s Internet connection has access to many restricted records collections.
Thanks to funding from the Friends of the Library, researchers also have on-site access to Ancestry.com; Fold3.com; Newspapers.com; and GenealogyBank.com.
