Genealogical research services require special expertise which falls outside the focus of the University Library System (ULS). There are collection materials held by the ULS, however, that are of value to genealogists and family historians.  Please consult the  Archives Service Center (ASC) Guides. Send us your specific questions regarding ASC material.

Additionally, Hillman Library Microforms Department has population census schedules on microfilm for the US from 1790 thru 1930. See more information on our Census Guide.
