The Genealogical Society of Vallejo-Benicia is planning a Field Trip on Thursday April 2nd to visit the Napa Valley Genealogical Society’s newly updated library located at 1701 Menlo Ave in Napa.
NVGS states that their library is a special resource in northern California. The Napa Valley Genealogical Library has more than 9,000 holdings, many of which are rare or unique.
Whether you have Napa ancestors or just live in Northern California, the library probably has at least one resource you didn't know you needed.
Although they make some of their resources available on their website (napagensoc.org). Most holdings are only accessible through an in-person visit.
Their computers now include a patron resources page, which is chock full of links to key genealogical resources (mostly free!). We are visiting the library to explore these resources and get new research leads & ideas.
- Usernames and passwords: For any websites you'd like to use during your visit. Note that we have access to some subscriptions, but not all.
- USB flash drive: To download documents viewed on our patron computers.
- Your personal device: Use our Wi-Fi to access FamilySearch and our paid subscriptions. Save your work directly to your laptop, tablet, or phone.
- For Non-members: They request a $10 donation each time you visit
- Copy fees are applicable for all when researching in-house
Carpooling is recommended due to limited parking. Members & guests can meet at the Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum (734 Marin Street in Vallejo) back parking lot at 9:45 am to carpool. The library tour begins at 10:30 am.
