Our Collection
The Godfrey
Library’s collection consists of over 200,000 books and periodicals
including biographies, genealogies, state and local histories, city
directories, cemetery and funeral records, church records military
histories, newspapers and family bibles. The capstone of our collection
is the American Genealogical Biographical Index (AGBI), an index of
more than 4 million names from the more than 800 books in our original
collection and the Boston Transcript genealogy query column.
The majority of the library’s material is focused on New England
families and history, but there are a great deal of books and
periodicals relevant to those researching other states as well as
internationally. Also key to international research, the Godfrey
Library operates a Family History Center. This branch of the Family
History Center Library in Utah gives patrons the opportunity to access
a vast repository of microfilms of records from all over the world.
