Genealogy & Family History

The Iron Range Research Center contains one of the largest collections of genealogical and local history research materials in the upper Midwest. Census, naturalization, passenger arrival records, and the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) Family Search and Ancestor files containing hundreds of millions of names from Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota and around the world. The reference book collection, maps, photographs, oral histories and microfilmed newspapers are a gold mine of information for genealogists, historians, scholars and students. 

The library reading room provides a comfortable research area for visitors. Microfilm reader printers and photocopier equipment are available for use by the public. 

The archival collections designated as a repository for the taconite tax relief area, consist of historical records and artifacts, city, township, political and military records; church, civic organization, business and personal papers; and maps, mining records, and photographs.
