The Genealogy Center, located on the second floor of the Hardesty Regional Library, contains a comprehensive research collection which includes traditional resources like books and microfilm, as well as online databases. The Genealogy Center has expanded resources for researching family backgrounds compared to other libraries in the TCCL system. Access to sites such as Fold3, American Ancestors, and History Geo are available from within the center, in addition to the library edition of Ancestry.com.

The center’s print collection contains many out of print books.  The books are divided into sections by states, families and general genealogy research.  Materials within the state sections include county records and histories, along with books highlighting military, church and cemetery records. The center also includes a large American Indian collection on microfilm, in book form, and through online access.   The collection is non-circulating.

The center’s website contains indexes to map collections, and vertical and family file collections.  Links to the Tulsa World and Tribune death notices, and useful websites, program handouts and an American Indian research tutorial are also included. 

The library has a large parking lot with easy access from Memorial Drive in South Tulsa.  There are several restaurants within a mile of the Hardesty library.  The Woodland Hills Mall is less than 5 miles away.
