Genealogy Resources

The Escanaba Public Library offers a variety of genealogy sources. The Library is home to the collections of the Delta County Genealogical Society . In addition to their collections, microfilm census, birth, death, and marriage records are available.

The Library has local newspapers on microfilm dating back to 1869 with the Escanaba Tribune. We also have film from the Escanaba Iron Port and the Escanaba Daily Mirror both of which were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The current local paper, the Escanaba Daily Press  dates from the early 1900's to the present.

The library has an incomplete Escanaba Newspaper Index (1869-1925, 1954-1962,1970-present) available for in-house use, as well as print obituary indices from 1999 to the present.

The library has a subscription to the online database Heritage Quest , available to in-house library patrons and remotely with a library card or Michigan I.D. A workstation with dedicated access to the database is located in the genealogy section.

Delta County Genealogical Society Docents are available to assist researchers on Monday afternoons from 1:30 - 4:00. The Library has two microform readers for public use. If coming from out-of-town or limited in time, we recommend calling ahead and making a reservation to use the readers. Time is limited to one hour if others are waiting. If you have any questions about genealogy sources, please contact the Library at 906-789-7323 or via email.
