If you cannot visit our library, we will be happy to answer your research requests by e-mail at lhgresearch@munpl.org
We can do “lookups” for Muncie/Delaware County ancestors in our obituary index, city directories, birth and death indexes, marriage, deed, and cemetery indexes and other sources. We will make photocopies of the information we find, so be sure to send us your postal address.
We do charge for this service at $15.00 per hour with a $8.00 minimum charge. Most requests are billed at the minimum fee.
Was at your library on May 9 researching NELSON line, everyone was very helpful. I look forward to my next visit.

Trying to locate Muncie School Yearbooks around 1938-1943 time period +- year. My mother (Betty M. J. Armstrong) Maiden Name: Lipscomb attended Central Hige, Muncie Burris and Eaton around those times. My mother lost all child hood pictures in a fire some years ago. I am trying to collect what I can any where I can for her upcoming 83rd birthday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
