History Collection
Genealogy is a major interest here and we house a one-of-kind collection of Las Animas County and the City of Trinidad.
Our collection includes:
- Trinidad Obituaries
- All the city directories published
- Large collection of books on southern Colorado
- Building survey of the Corazon de Trinidad
- A selection of mortuary and coroner’s reports
- Complete microfilm of all newspapers published in Trinidad.
Notes:
- All items in the History Collection must stay within the room.
- Only paper and pencils may be taken into the History Room. Lockers will be provided for purses, backpacks, and other personal belongings.
- These archives are provided on a "Search-It-Yourself" basis. We do not have enough staff to assist in searches. (We will, of course, provide brief instructions to visitors on the use of the microfilm reader.)
- We do accept requests for historical information; they are fulfilled by volunteers and such research does incur small fees. Please fill out the History Room Information Request Form.
