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.

The holiday season is a great time to work on a genealogy project. As families gather together, they can talk to one another about their family history. Older relatives should be “interviewed” by the younger ones about their family tree. It is a good time to gather around the fireplace and listen to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s stories. Aunts, uncles, cousins could also swap stories and share the family history they have compiled.
Family photos could also be shared. Older photographs are often the most valuable to genealogists. You can scan photographs and download them on to a flash drive for free at the Local History & Genealogy Center
Several sources that can help you compile your family tree are available at the Local History & Genealogy Center. We hope you visit our Center this holiday season.
The Local History & Genealogy Center will be closed on Thursday, November 22nd and Friday, November 23rd. We will re-open on Saturday, November 24th at 9:00am. Happy Thanksgiving!
