Two notable collections are the United States census on microfilm and the UMI Genealogy and Local History Collection on microfiche. the Library has the US census microfilm rolls for 1790-1870 (except for slave schedules); it has the complete schedules for California from 1850-1920. In addition, the Library has the largest collection of census indexes in Southern California. The UMI Genealogy and Local History Collection includes genealogies, local histories, genealogy journals, and primary sources. There is a small circulating collection of duplicate books. Genealogy staff has created User Guides to assist patrons in using some of the more complex or difficult sources in the collection.
