Our Services

The Young-Sanders Center library offers special collections and additional primary and secondary materials to the general public. Our facilities are utilized by scholars, authors, and amateur researchers by appointment. The Center is always pleased to receive photographs and written materials which help document the history of our region. We can, if necessary, copy photographs and manuscripts for historical research and return the originals to their owners. For more information about contributing materials, visit our contact page.
