Genealogy

We regret that it is not possible for staff members to perform detailed research on behalf of patrons.

Special Collections staff can provide assistance in the use of resources related to family history research.

Resources useful in genealogical research include: a small selection of reference works in the Doris Lewis Rare Book Room, the Kitchener-Waterloo Record Photographic Negative Collection, the Waterloo Regional History Bibliography, the Ontario History Index, and numerous published and unpublished works in the Local History collection.
