We welcome visitors to our library. We are
currently located at 107 South Fourth Street, Easton, Pennsylvania.
Appointments are required. Appointments can be made by phone at
(610)253-1222 or by fax at (610)253-4701. Our librarian is available
Tuesday through Friday between 9am to 2pm. There is no
charge for members, a $5 fee per visit for nonmembers.
To start
a research request via mail, we ask you to send a check for $25.00. We
can research only one surname at a time. Multiple surname searches can
be confusing and cause delays. Your SURNAME fee includes a search of
our library (two hours), a reasonable amount of photocopying, and
return postage. If your request for information
requires more than the time allowed, we will contact you by letter and
seek your authorization to proceed for an additional fee. The fee you
pay is based on the time we spend to search, not on the results. While
many searches produce results, some do not. You should understand that
you might pay for a search that will not produce the information you
want. We will make every effort to help you.
