Catalog
The TCGS library includes over 3,000 books, 450 periodicals, 200 CDs, over 10,000 items on microfilm or microfiche.
- Books, microfilm & microfiche are accessed using the catalog on FamilySearch.org . Choose “Richland Washington Family History Center” from the “Search these Family History Centers”. Then search for the location, keyword, etc. that you desire.
- The Tri-City Herald, our local newspaper, for Jan 1970-Jun 2001 is also available on microfilm. This set is not included in the FamilySearch.org catalog.
- Periodicals. The library staff is now working on re-cataloging our periodicals. For now the 2014 list provides access. Additionally, more recent issues may also be in the library.
- CDs.
The description of our Books through Jan 2014 includes abstracts describing the books. These often include surnames or counties covered. While the book numbering system has changed, the abstracts are still useful.
