The Genealogy and Preservation Center is located upstairs in the Conroe Central Branch. We are part of the Montgomery County Memorial Library System.

The Montgomery County Memorial Library System always provides FREE programs and never requires a fee. The Genealogy & Local History Room was established in 1976 due to the efforts of Imogene Kennedy, our first Genealogy Librarian, and the Montgomery County Genealogical Society. Our collection has since grown to be one of the largest in the state of Texas. The collection offers books, family histories, local yearbooks, records, maps, microfilm, and much more. Events are regularly held on various historical and genealogical topics. In 2017, a Preservation Pad was acquired, which allows the user to digitize documents, photos, and film.

This past weekend, the Genealogy & Preservation center visited the historic Old Methodist Churchyard in Montgomery founded in 1838 for our Voices from the Past event.
Dressed in full Victorian mourning attire, we spent the day recounting the stories of the early community members laid to rest here. We were also able share valuable genealogy tools to help inspire our guests to look into their own past!

Thank you to everyone who came out to walk through history with us!
