The Genealogy Collection of the Bay County Public Library contains over 5,000 genealogy books and over 2,000 rolls of microfilm. None of these materials circulate. The largest percentage of our collection deals with the Southeastern United States and also we have a good collection of materials on other states. We have family histories, research guides, and general genealogical references. We also have a nice collection of genealogy periodicals.
The BCPL Local History Room, the Bay County Genealogical Society and the Historical Society of Bay County jointly sponsor a First Families of Bay County certification program.
