The genealogy room of the Keller Public Library contains over 3,000 titles including reference books, family histories, cemetery books, newsletters, maps, and microfilms of federal census records (for many states), county marriage records, and various newspapers from the county. A large part of the collection is about Stoddard County and Missouri, but it also encompasses materials from at least 25 additional states.
Most of the collection is catalogued, and the list can be viewed by searching on the keyword genealogy from the Keller Public Library main webpage Online Catalog. This search presents a list ten items at a time, so adding additional search criteria is useful for paring down the list.

Not catalogued but present in the genealogy room is an index created by the society members of obits from the Dexter Daily Statesman and Bloomfield Vindicator newspapers.

Further down this page, under the Bloomfield Library is a listing of specific books and records. All of the books listed and many of the microfilm records listed are also available in the genealogy room of the Keller Public Library.
