In December, we aquired a new microfilm reader/printer that has scanning capabilities. You can scan records/articles from the microfilm and download the files onto your flashdrive. You can also e-mail the files to yourself.
This new service is free of charge.
In order to better serve our customers, the Local History & Genealogy Center is expanding its hours on Saturdays.
Beginning February 16th, the Center will be open from 10:00am-5:oopm every Saturday.
We have a part time position (30 hours a week) available at the Local History & Genealogy Center. For more information and to apply go to the “Career Opportunities” section on our website:
Access to full text articles (including obituaries) in the Muncie Star Press newspaper is now available online at all Muncie Public Library branches. Coverage is back to the year 2000.
You can also access this database from home with a valid Muncie Public Library card.
Older newspaper articles are available on microfilm at the Local History and Genealogy Center.
Our heat has been restored and we are open for business as usual.
We apologize for any inconvenience
Due to a problem with our heat, the Local History & Genealogy Center is closed temporarily. Hopefully, the problem will be resolved soon. Please e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.
Patricia Al-Wahaili, Local History & Genealogy Center Supervisor
