The Russell County Public Library offers a variety of research materials for patrons who are interested in researching their family history. In addition to local collections, two paid subscription databases are available. The first is Ancestry.com, which is available for use only in the Library on a library terminal. The second, HeritageQuest, is accessible from home or the Library.
