The local library has introduced a new obituaries archive search feature, aimed at assisting community members in locating historical death notices and obituaries. This service became available on December 12, 2025, and allows users to access a comprehensive database of archived obituaries dating back several decades.
This archive is designed to support genealogical research and provide historical context for community residents. Users can search by name, date, or publication, making it easier to find specific obituaries of interest.
The library’s staff has collaborated with various historical societies to gather and digitize records. This initiative is part of the library’s broader commitment to preserve local history and make it accessible to the public.
Previously, accessing these records required physical visits to the library and sometimes extensive manual searches. The new digital feature addresses these challenges by allowing remote access to archives, benefiting families and researchers.
Residents can begin using the obituaries archive search by visiting the library’s website or in-person at the reference desk. Library officials encourage users to explore this resource for both personal and research purposes.
