The Centre County Historical Society has, over the years, acquired archival collections which provide primary source materials for those interested in researching or writing about the history of the county. The online collections list includes brief entries about the various collections and links to more in-depth finding aids for selected collections.

The Centre County Historical Society has some genealogical records in its archives and library, but it is not a primary focus for our collecting. Please check the genealogy resources link for additional information.

Anyone wishing to use archival records or the library should make an appointment by calling (814) 234-4779.
