Note to Genealogists:

While the Research Library of the SDB Historical Library and Archives contains many resources which are useful to genealogists, the Seventh Day Baptist Historical Library and Archives is not a genealogy assistance organization.

We do not conduct broad genealogy research by phone or mail.  We urge all researchers to make full use of the growing resources available on this website.

In addition, there is a small core of volunteers local to the Library and Archives that find genealogy work interesting. This group is willing and able to assist in such research as their own time permits. They can be contacted at genhelp@seventhdaybaptist.org.

Friends and Patrons of the Society have access to finding aids in the members area of the Library’s website, including the complete catalog of our resources and the index to our periodicals.  If specific articles or obituaries are requested in digital format, we will send digital copies requested by Friends and Patrons who have identified them in the index or catalog.  These requests will be handled in the order they are received and as time and other resources permit.

The library and archives at the SDB Center in Janesville, WI are open by appointment only.
