• We have a very nice collection of books pertaining to the Southeast United States and a smattering of other States and other countries.  We have many reference books and family histories in bound books.

Databases and Software

• FHC Portal This center has access to the Family History Center Portal page which gives free access in the center to premium family history software and websites that generally charge for subscriptions.
•   FHL Favorites; The staff of the Salt Lake City Library have assembled a collection of websites that they send patrons to for research in different countries.  Some of the sites do charge a fee. This is a good reference site.
