ARCHIVAL RESEARCH FINDING AIDS

The Cornell Local History Research Library and Archives are located on the first floor of the Tompkins Center for History & Culture

Our collections contain nearly 100,000 photographs, over 1000 linear feet of archives, genealogy files for more than 2,000 Tompkins County families, and 3,500+ books relating to the history of Tompkins County.

These collections are free to engage with by all Tompkins County residents, and out-of-county researchers.

RESEARCH APPOINTMENTS

Our manuscript collections include Finding Aids, which are detailed box lists that describe the contents of each collection. They are critical introductions to the collections, and some of the many Finding Aids in The History Center's archives can be reviewed and downloaded below. 

Contact archives@thehistorycenter.net to make an appointment to see these collections in person, or if you are searching for a collection not listed here.
