About the Grosvenor Room

Genealogy and Heraldry Collection

Music Collection

This department of Central Library (716-858-8900), opened in 1994, brings together the library's extensive genealogy and local history materials. The Special Collections Department includes family histories; general and ethnic genealogical research manuals; indexes to passenger lists; surname dictionaries, local histories, military roster lists; heraldry and family crest dictionaries; directories of libraries, historical societies, genealogical organizations, and vital records offices. In 1995, the Department became the home of the collection of the Western New York Genealogical Society Collection, the region's oldest and largest genealogy organization. Materials from some Grosvenor Room collections are for in-library use only and cannot be borrowed.
