Description of Collections
The Pennsylvania Room is a genealogical and historical reference library, and serves as a destination for genealogy, history, and humanities researchers throughout the United States. It is part of Centre County Library & Historical Museum, a public library system, and is located in the Historical Museum building.

The Pennsylvania Room maintains a specialized reference collection of approximately 3,500 volumes on state, local, and family history, as well as original Centre County records, newspapers, manuscript genealogies, and genealogical indexes. These resources are non-circulating, meaning that they cannot be checked out and must be used onsite.

In addition to assisting in-house visitors with their research needs, the Pennsylvania Room offers paid research services for patrons who are seeking information about Centre County families and history, but who are not able to visit us in person.
