    • Can I donate items to the Local History Collection?

      Henderson Libraries accepts donations of local historical significance. We are particularly interested in yearbooks, photographs, maps, programs, and documents from local families and businesses.

    • Do you have marriage, birth, or death records?

      No, Henderson Libraries does not house marriage, birth, or death records. Marriage licenses and records for Clark County can be found by searching with the Clark County Clerk’s Office here.
