The Library

The Society has a long history of collecting historical documents and maps relating to Florida. In 1977, the Libary of Florida History was established in Historic Cocoa Village in Brevard County to house the collection. Currently the collection consists of volumes relevant to Florida of which over six thousand have been cataloged, an extensive map collection, manuscripts and photographic holdings.  Of note the Library also houses the local Mosquito Beaters historical collection and the Alice Strickland collections of Floridiana. The collection continues to to grow.
