Valdosta Museum Research Library

The Crown Jewel of the Lowndes County Museum may be our extensive research library. Our library is stocked with books on early Georgia and Lowndes County history, a vast genealogy section and scores of official government records, including census and burial records. We are constantly used as the primary information source for authors, historical researchers, or family members trying to find their "long lost great grandfather" or trace their family roots to an original member or location. So, whether your looking for a relatives address in 1860 or a picture of Paterson Street in 1925, we probably have it in our archives. Perhaps our most unusual section is our clippings file. We have newspaper clippings on all types of subjects ranging from which movies playing at the Bijou theatre in 1959 to the activities at Moody AFB.
