LIBRARY RESOURCES

Sunlit wooden bookshelf filled with books, glasses, and a decorative owl figurine.

Below is a list of files containing valuable resources in our library, including a diverse array of Brown County records and genealogy information from several counties and states.


In the obituary files, you will notice we have a column titled PAPER/LEAFLET. The term paper refers to an obituary found in the local newspaper, while leaflet indicates that we have the funeral leaflet on file. If you come across an obituary you'd like us to copy and send to you, please complete the Copy Request form below and submit online.  


As we conduct our inventory of library resources and index more items for our website, this list will grow. Please check back frequently for updates!
