COLLECTION
The Genealogy Collection is located in the Naples Regional Library, 650 Central Ave. The collection is a non-circulating reference collection of basic and intermediate resources, including books, periodicals, electronic resources, and web-based subscription databases.
AUDIENCE
The collection serves patrons interested in genealogical research of a basic introductory level as well as those prepared for a next level of familiarity. Reference help is available from experienced and dedicated volunteers. Please check their schedule in the Genealogy Room.
COLLECTION POLICY
The collection policy defines materials to be acquired, such as introductory and historical overviews, including acceptable donations. Because of the nature of the collection, specialized family histories, detailed regional records, etc. are not collected.
