The Society’s library is located in the Douglas County Courthouse, Room 105B and is best accessed from the side entrance on Main Street. The telephone number is 541-440-6178.

The library is normally open from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is closed on Monday, Tuesday and all holidays observed by Douglas County.

Appointments can be made to access the library at other times. There are experienced Librarians on duty to help with your research. The Library is staffed entirely by volunteers.

Our library has 3,700+ titles on the shelves, including 700+ for Douglas County and 1000+ for Oregon.

Our members have extracted and published records from the Douglas County Archives. We also have conducted and published physical inventories of most of the cemeteries in the county. Some of these publications are offered for sale.

We also have a large newspaper obituary collection from ca 1984 to present (there are some older ones and a few years are missing due to the lack of a volunteer.)

Also available are file cabinets containing surname files with various information for you to browse.

We have 2 research computers with full access to Ancestry.com, Newspapers.com and Fold3.com. for patron's use.
