The Livermore Heritage Guild's History Center, located in the Carnegie Building on Third Street between "J" and "K" Streets, has a wonderful collection of material to aid genealogists and family historians concerned with the early history of Livermore. The following is a current list of resources: |
| 1. CITY OF LIVERMORE PROPERTY TAX ROLLS: 1887-1928 | ||
| These hand-written tax rolls are arranged in roughly alphabetical order - by taxpayers. The Guild has made a rearrangement of the entries by property location. However, the location identification does not correspond to the current Assessor parcel number. | ||

| A. From the Livermore
Echo Newspaper: Autumn 1887 through 1905. The microfilm of this

1918. B. From the Livermore Herald microfilms: July 1899 through December 1965. Once again, an on-going project. Some years are incomplete an the film. C. From the Livermore Herald (aka: The Tri-Valley Herald):January 1970 to date. The indexing will probably stop with Dec. 31, 1999. |
