Through the efforts of the entire membership, the Society has established an impressive Genealogical Library, which is open to the public. We believe that family history researchers can and will make good use of the collections available. The Oklahoma Collection contains information on Oklahoma Territory, Cleveland County, other Oklahoma counties, the State of Oklahoma, and various Native American tribes. The Oklahoma Collection also includes all the documents submitted by 161 early Cleveland County families. These documents include marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, homestead papers and land records, cemetery records and some photos.
Copy service is available.
The main library contains information on most states in the U.S., many donated family histories, and extensive reference materials, including pension application indexes to the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The library is staffed and maintained by C.C.G.S. member volunteers. We believe it is our responsibility to preserve local history and provide special facilities for all, locals and travelers alike, who are interested in genealogical and historical research. The continued support of our members, visitors, and the community is needed to keep the C.C. G.S. library a welcome and valuable addition to the area. We provide prompt and thorough research as to marriages, divorces, cemeteries, funeral home records, newspaper obituaries, homesteads, naturalization and census records, etc., using resources available to us locally.
