Genealogical Research at the P.H. Sullivan Genealogy Library

The mission of the P.H. Sullivan Museum and Genealogy Library is to increase the appreciation, awareness and understanding of the history and culture of Boone County and Indiana. To accomplish this mission, the library works to collect, preserve and make available genealogical resources to aid those who are exploring their roots in Boone County and beyond.
The library currently holds approximately 5000 volumes, as well as microfilm, computer files and physical documents to aid you in your genealogical research. Through a partnership with the Hussey Mayfield Memorial Public Library, the genealogy library materials may be searched through the Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium.
