Julian W. Lowenstein Archive Center And Genealogy Department

In 1986, the small private library of Vero Beach was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County. The original collection of approximately 250 books was donated by IRGS. When the new library opened February 1, 1991, the genealogy collection of approximately 3000 books had a separate room with approximately 1000 square feet. Today, there is over 4000 square feet and over 40,000 titles, which includes the outside areas of the department where the microfilm and microfiche collections are located.

For donations of genealogical reference books or local history material including maps, photos, or other vintage material, please contact Genealogy Department Librarian Michelle Wagner (email mwagner@indianriver.gov).

Note: You may request a look up of the Indian River County Obituaries through email. Please provide the name of the person, age and date of death (if available). Please allow two weeks for your request to be processed.
