The Genealogy and Local History Department can trace our ancestry back to 1953 when the Wooster-Wayne Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) indicated an interest in housing family histories and other resources of genealogical value in the Wooster Library. We started with one book case and have grown to more than 5,800 books and 3,601 reels of microfilm.
Our department is located on the upper level of the Main Library located at 220 W. Liberty St. in Wooster, Ohio 44691. Our department hours differ slightly from the Main Library hours.
