Welcome to Midwest Genealogy Center

The Midwest Genealogy Center is one of the nation's preeminent resources for family history. The MGC features 52,000 square feet of space to house all the resources and technology genealogists need to research.

The Beginnings of the Midwest Genealogy Center

The 52,000 square foot Midwest Genealogy Center is part of the Mid-Continent Public Library system. MCPL has a long history of providing outstanding genealogy resources. The new center is simply the next step in the growth of the system.

Amongst its many features, the MGC houses a uniquely expansive circulating collection and almost completely open stacks. New technology is also a major attribute of the building. Microfilm reader-printers, two self-digitization stations, and significant database access allow researchers to use today's technology to assist their investigation.
