Here are a few books that may be of interest to genealogists. This is only a small selection of the books that are available at Simpson Library; you may wish to speak with a librarian to identify other books that are relevant to the time period or geographical area that you're researching.

Reference books may not be checked out. Everyone is welcome to come and use these books inside the library building. We offer free electronic scanning, and photocopying for 10 cents per page.

If you're a UMW student, faculty member, or staff member, you may check out books using your EagleOne card.

If you aren't a UMW student, faculty member, or staff member, you may freely use our books inside of the library building. We offer free electronic scanning, and photocopying for 10 cents per page. You may also apply for a Guest Patron card, which lets you check out books. The fee for a Guest Patron card is $25 per year. See here for more information about Guest Patron cards.
