Research Library


 

Our Research Library located in the Elk Grove House & Stage Stop Museum is open to the public. The library has the largest collection of photographs, books, family histories and local artifacts on the Elk Grove area in the state of California. In addition we have federal and state census, newspapers and many books on early California and Sacramento County. We are constantly adding materials to our library.

The Research Library is now open by appointment. For an appointment you can call 685-8115 and leave a message or email us at eghs@elkgrovehistoricalsociety.com

For those wanting research but unable to come to our Library, our staff will do research for a $20 fee plus copy charges. Contact the above number and email address with a request or mail your request to: Elk Grove Historical Society; PO Box 562; Elk Grove, CA 95759


Court Dockets

Sitting on the Heritage Park grounds is the restored San Joaquin Township Justice Court, which served Elk Grove and the surrounding areas from 1911 through the early 1950s. We now have over 3,000 original court dockets from the Justice Court. The dockets cover everything and everybody that passed through the court including felonies, misdemeanors, traffic and civil cases. If your family lived in Elk Grove or passed through Elk Grove and the surrounding areas chances are they are listed in the court database. This database is now open for public research.
