Taylor County Public Library maintains a Genealogy Research Section that is available to the public. The purpose of this Genealogy Research Room Section is to preserve and promote the historic and cultural resources in our community in a useful manner.
Materials may be photocopied. The researcher is responsible for complying with the copyright law of the United States in making photocopies. Permission to publish or quote extensively from unpublished manuscripts or copyrighted works must be obtained from the copyright holder. It is the researcher's responsibility to secure that permission.
The Genealogy Collections are non-circulating and therefore to be used only within the Genealogy room.
This room includes these collections:
- Local and area family history
- Local Cemetery Records
- Green/Taylor County and Campbellsville history
- Civil war information
- Church histories
- Obituary records
Library staff is available to assist with use of the microfilm reader and provide access to materials. Staff is not responsible for conducting genealogy research.
Weeding is performed periodically to remove items that are available in another format, another local institution, or deemed not in correspondence with the goal of the collection.
Donations to the Genealogy Research Room are accepted in accordance to the Gifts and Appraisal Policy. When copies of family notebooks are donated to the library, photocopying the pages of the notebook to make the Library’s copy will be done free of charge.
