- Marriage clippings (same newspapers)
- School yearbooks

- Church histories
- Cemetery records
- Family files and family genealogy
- Subject files (businesses, schools, sports, events, etc.)
- Telephone books

- Complete book holdings in our library can be found here
The archive is maintained by volunteers who are glad to help those needing assistance.
A donation of $5.00 is expected for research conducted onsite. Photocopies are 25 cents per page.
Those who want service, but are unable to visit on-site, can fill out the RESEARCH REQUEST FORM and mail it to the DuBois Area Historical Society along with an advance donation of $25.00, payable to the Society. This will allow for 2 hours of research time plus a maximum of 25 photocopies. (One name per search, please.)
We are a non-profit, all-volunteer organization. Research donations support the maintenance and expansion of the library.
