Local History & Genealogy

Long Island Division

Since 1912, the Long Island Division of the Queens Library has collected, preserved, and made available a myriad of resources that document the social, economic, and political history of the four counties on Long Island - Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk.

From its modest beginnings, the division has grown into one of the most extensive and important historical resources of Long Island, containing approximately 32,000 books, newspapers and other publications, 2,500 cubic feet of manuscripts, and over 100,000 photographs.
