Reading Room
The Reading Room is a designated space where researchers can access our archival collection and research services. The Reading Room is divided into two sections - the Non-circulating area, which is self-serve, and the Primary area where staff retrieve the original documents from our storage area.
Our staff is happy to answer any questions you may have or to point you in the right direction if you are just starting your research.
Some of the services available include photocopiers, microfilm/fiche reader/printers, and digital photographic reproductions. We are also pleased to annouce that we now provide access to Ancestry.com Library Edition. This program contains millions of genealogy documents from Canada, Europe and the UK, the United States, and Australia.
We also offer research services to those patrons who are unable to visit Grey Roots in person. Requests should have a link to Grey County in some way. Submit a request online!
Before your visit, you may wish to check out Library and Archives Canada's Using Archives: A Practical Guide for Researchers, which explains how to best use archives for your research.
