Since June 2001, the society library has been located at the Dupont Building, 29 Ethan Allen Avenue, at the Fort Ethan Allen Complex, in Colchester VT. In March of 2005 we moved into our new rooms on the opposite side of the building. This has almost doubled our workspace. It is no longer crowded and uncomfortable. Its a joy to use our new facilities. Come in and see us. The library, now located in rooms 202 and 203 and 204, is handicapped accessible in the rear of the building. It is staffed by volunteers, is usually open on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30, as well as Saturday's of the month from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (September through May). In June, July and August we usually open on the 2nd Saturday of the month. NOTE: We are not open on Holiday Saturdays such as Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Any necessary last-minute changes to this schedule will be posted on our web-site. Please use rear door.

The library has no mail receptacle so all mail for the society and any of its officers should be addressed to the society Post office box.

The library has a growing collection of reference books, manuscripts, periodicals and microfiche, thanks to the generosity of our members and others, as well as gifts from other societies, family associations and publishers. As funds permit, we are continuing to purchase published "repertoires" of church records pertaining to Marriages, Baptisms and Burials, mostly in the Province of Quebec and New England.

As an adjunct to the library book and fiche collection, we have established a "surname file" in folders to collect, preserve, and make available all types of unbound material such as family charts, family histories, newspaper clippings, documents, and photographs. New material is always welcome from members and non-members.

Members: please send us copies of your completed charts and publications.

Members may use our library any time it is open for research.

Visitors may use our library one time without any cost.

NON-members may use our library for a fee of $5.00 a day.

Out of state members may call Janet Allard (802-878-8081), Paul or Janet Landry (802-864-6037), or John Fisher (802-862-8082) if they would like to make arrangements to visit the library during non-scheduled hours.

Directions to our library at the Fort Ethan Allen Complex.

Approaching on Interstate 89 from the South, take exit 15 and then right on Route 15 for about a mile and turn left into the Fort Ethan Allen Complex.

Approaching on Interstate 89 from the North, take exit 16 and then right on Main St. into downtown Winooski. Then turn left at Route 15 toward Colchester for about 1.5 miles and turn left into the Fort Ethan Allen Complex.

The Fort entrance road is Barnes Ave. As you drive in, the second road on the right is Ethan Allen Ave and Dupont Hall is the 3rd building on the left. All three buildings are old Cavalry Barracks and parking is limited in front of them. So, as you drive into the Fort and down Barnes Ave, go past Ethan Allen Ave and take the next right onto Hegeman Ave. You will see 4 St Michael's College MAINTENANCE Buildings and driveways. Drive into the 3rd driveway on the right, just opposite the Vermont State Police Building. You will be in the rear of the Dupont Bldg. Take the handicapped ramp or steps and enter through any of the four doors. Once in the bldg, take a left and follow the signs.
