The Genealogy Collection houses material relating to Florida and the Southeastern United States, with a growing body of material on the Mid-Atlantic states. The collection also includes reference materials for the original thirteen colonies.

We are a certified Family History Resource Center. All of the resources of the Utah Genealogical Society including microfilm, microfiche, and photocopies of print material can be obtained through the Jacksonville Public Library. The Latter-day Saints Family History Library has the world's largest collection of genealogical material from census, vital records, military records, church records, and so much more. All material is available to be used in the library for a period of one month.

The Genealogy Collection is open for use during regular library hours. The collection is for research. Materials may not be checked out and are not lent out on interlibrary loan to other libraries. Copy machines are available for your convenience. Photocopies and copies from microfilm/fiche are available for 10¢ a page.

Resources in the department include books, microfilm, microfiche, periodicals, and CD-ROMs. Jacksonville Public Library also subscribes to the online database Ancestry Library Edition.
