Union County Pennsylvania CollectionThis is an extensive collection of historical and biographical books on Union County, PA. These books were published between 1847 and 1976 and contain over 6,700 pages of information. This collection includes some of the major historical & biographical volumes published for Union County, as well as a number of obscure historical publications.The larger biographical volumes are an excellent place to start genealogical research as these detail hundreds of family genealogies from the county.
