Indiana Room

Materials about Indiana and books written by Hoosier authors comprise this collection. While many of these books may be used only in the library, there are some that are allowed to circulate for two weeks.

The cut-glass window seen in this room was removed from the former Carnegie library building and remains on permanent view for our patrons' enjoyment.

Two file cabinets contain brochures, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings about Indiana and Fulton County. Of special interest are these books which may be used for genealogy searches:

Fulton County Cemetery Records

Fulton County Births & Marriages

School Enumeration Records

Index to Obituaries

Index to The Rochester Sentinel.

Rochester Telephone Books

McClurg Civil War Index

1883 & 1907 Fulton County Atlases

Rochester High School Yearbooks 1907 to Present

Newspapers on Microfilm:

The Rochester Sentinel. & Kewanna Observer

Federal Census Records

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

While we try to provide a balanced and extensive collection, we realize that we are unable to purchase all materials. Through the ILL service, patrons are able to borrow those items not available locally.
