Description:

The Genealogy Center at the Orange Mound Library is about more than simply family history. We are the flagship cultural heritage institution for the historic Orange Mound community, the oldest neighborhood built for and by African Americans. Our institution includes a physical archive, oral history program, and genealogy services. Our mission is to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of Orange Mound, Memphis, and The Delta region at large.
