If you are researching area history or genealogy and need information not covered by our holdings, we recommend contacting the Brockton Public Library, which has microfilm holdings of local newspapers dating back to the 1850's and 1880's.

 

Another good source for local history searches is our Ancestry Library Edition database, which is accessible from within the Library. Please come visit us to start searching!
