NSGS Library: The NSGS library collection is housed in the beautiful Beatrice Public Library, 100 N 16th St, Beatrice, NE. NSGS members are allowed to rent materials from the collection for a fee that covers postage. Library holdings include a vast collection of resource materials for most counties in Nebraska as well as many local and family histories. Limited source materials for states adjoining Nebraska and along the great migration trail are also available. Visit the library website at https://www.beatrice.ne.gov/library. Click Library Holdings in the menu (left column) of this website for a listing.
 
*Institutions do not have members-only access. Institutions receive one copy of the Nebraska Ancestree to share among their members or to post in their library. Institutions may get a vendor discount at NSGS annual events. 
 
*Digital memberships do not get a printed copy of the "Nebraska Ancestree", but rather may read it by viewing online or downloading from this website under members only (after logging in) and "secure downloads".
