PRESERVING HISTORY

The Local History and Genealogy Department has been collecting, preserving, and providing access to materials of local historical interest since the late 1800s.

Housed on the third floor of the Rawlings Library at 100 East Abriendo Avenue, in Pueblo, Colorado, the department provides reference materials and online information resources to assist with historical research.

This department houses a specialized non-circulating collection of rare materials related to the history of Colorado, the Rocky Mountains West, and Northern New Mexico, with an emphasis on Pueblo and the Arkansas River Valley.
 
The department also offers a circulating collection on the history and culture of the American Southwest, Southern Colorado, and Colorado, and books on genealogy research.
