The Library/Archives collections include nearly 7,200 genealogical surname files. Each of these files may include many different variant spellings of that surname. These files might contain: clippings of obituaries, weddings, and engagements; short genealogies (under 40 pages); family group sheets; pedigree charts; copies of original documents and photos; or any other material pertaining to that family that has been submitted over the years.

Five sets of index cards accompany each surname file. These cards include abstracts from church records, cemetery records, will books and Orphans Court dockets (1749-1850); a sampling of pre-1800 tax records; and other selected sources.
