Research

The Five Oaks Museum archives and research library are an extensive collection of historic materials about Washington County, including manuscripts, images, maps, oral histories and rare books.

The Research Desk is a free service to help the community access and utilize the Museum’s resources. Whether you’re working on a genealogy project, researching a historic site, or you represent a local business creating a historic display, we are here to support you. Please submit your research request to research@fiveoaksmuseum.org and one of our dedicated research volunteers will be happy to help.
