Bethlehem Area Public Library
"The Bethlehem Room collection concentrates on historical and
genealogical materials from the library's direct service area: the
City of Bethlehem, Bethlehem Township, Hanover Township, Fountain
Hill, and Lower Saucon. While other geographical areas are
covered, it is not as extensive. Materials include local
histories, maps, a newspaper clipping file, church records, and
cemetery records. Family histories are also included. Microfilm
holdings include the Bethlehem newspaper from 1867 and census
returns for Lehigh County and Northampton County from 1790 through
1920. A partial index to the Bethlehem Globe-Times newspaper is
available via our web page. The Bethlehem Room and microfilm
collections are available during regular library hours."
