of local and statewide historical and genealogical materials. Special thanks to the Godbold
family for their continuing support of the library. The Reference staff of
the library receives many requests each month for general information about
its collections and services, as well as, specific queries for information
found in its archival holdings. All requests are answered in the order they
are received.
The
Edwin Condie Godbold
Local History Room houses an outstanding collection of historical and
genealogical materials with its focus on Selma and Dallas County, Alabama. The collection
includes histories, genealogies, periodicals, census records, vertical files,
maps, and photographs. The materials in this collection are for reference use only and may not
be borrowed. The collection is open for public use during regular library
hours free of charge.
Our
Local History and Genealogy Librarian is available to assist you with your
research on Wednesdays form 9am to 5pm. Assistance is
available at other times by appointment only. Please call the librarian at 334-874-1722 on Wednesdays at
least one week in advance of your

Although
we are happy to assist you in your research, we are not staffed to perform
genealogical research for you. Concise, brief requests by mail or email (info@selmalibrary.org) will be
answered as staff time permits. We are not able to take genealogical requests
by telephone.
The Selma Dallas County Public
Library is a fully accessible facility. If you require assistance to utilize
any Library service or program, help is available from any librarian.
We look forward to seeing
you soon!
