They have a large genealogical collection of books in the Mississippi Room.  They have many      irreplaceable books and materials in their collection.  To use this collection, you must be 18 years old as no young children are permitted.  Researchers may take pencils, blank paper, or personal computers into the area.  All other possessions must be locked in a locker.

They have a small staff and can only do limited research for people.  You must be specific when submitting research requests - specific names and dates.
