Library

The Brevard Genealogical Society & Eastern Florida State College (formerly Brevard Community College) Genealogy Collections are located in the Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library (Central Brevard Library & Reference Center), 308 Forrest Avenue, Cocoa, Florida.

The books are shelved in the Brevard Genealogical Society's collection. The collections are together in the Genealogy Area on the second floor of the Library.

The Eastern Florida State College Collection is included in the Brevard County Library Catalog  and is available for Inter-Library Loan within Brevard County only. 

Society books are non-circulating and only available for use at the library. Our CD collection is available when a volunteer is present. The volunteer schedule varies and is posted in the Genealogy area. If you are planning a visit to Brevard, it may be possible to coordinate hours if you contact the BGS Librarian in advance. 


Brevard County Census Records are available in the Library and you can also access the actual images of ALL Brevard census records online. These were donated to Brevard GenWeb by the Brevard Genealogical Society (images by S-K Publications).


The Genealogy Department is only open during the week. The second floor is closed on the weekends, so schedule your visit accordingly.
