HQRL bricks & mortar is temporarily CLOSED, but...
Members have remote access to MyHeritage data base and Ancestry Library from home! We have ZOOM classes, learn from home!
There are links at hqrl.com to genealogy resources:
Due to a 10/28/2022 fire in downtown Sumner WA, HQRL is currently closed. The fire was in the building next to us, check our blog (left column) to see progress towards reopening.
Welcome to Heritage Quest Research Library!
Heritage Quest Research Library is a nonprofit genealogy library, a 501(c)(3), in Sumner, Washington, managed and staffed entirely by volunteers. HQRL's collection includes books (over 15,000 titles), and microfiche; this facility also houses a bookstore where you can purchase genealogy books, family tree forms/charts, software and supplies.
Benefits of HQRL membership - why pay for individual data base subscriptions at home when an HQRL membership pays for six genealogy data bases for you to access at our library.
The Heritage Quest Research Library is in downtown Sumner, WA at 1007 Main Street or call (253) 863-1806. Our volunteers can help you get started researching your ancestors and show you genealogy forms to capture all the information. Consider taking a class with us or pay for a membership to access multiple genealogy data bases from our library computers. We hope to see you soon!
The library is closed on Sundays.
We are closed when the Sumner School District is closed for inclement weather.
HQRL is a FamilySearch Affiliate!
This is great news for our Society and genealogy researchers!
When you come into the Heritage Quest Research Library and use our computers to access FamilySearch.org, you will have increased access to records previously only available at a Family History Center. With Family History Centers closed, we offer an in-house alternative. Come in and see what you can find!
