The Wadsworth Ella M. Everhard Public Library Local History Collection includes written, printed, photographic, audio, and audio-visual materials documenting the history of the City of Wadsworth and the activities of its inhabitants.

Many items in the Collection are rare or one-of-kind; some are also fragile. Over the course of the next two years the Library intends to make many of these materials accessible in digital form via this website.  We are currently working on converting our printed obituary index into a searchable database of names.  Although this obituary database is not complete, it is accessible and is updated on a weekly basis as more work is done.  If you find an obituary listing for which you would like the complete text, please call or email the Reference Department.

Researchers are welcome to visit the Library and use the Collection during regular Library hours.  To make a visit more productive and efficient for both the researcher and Library staff, you are encouraged to contact the Reference Desk ahead of time.
