There is no charge for copies sent by email. Copies sent by postal mail are $1 per page. Requests of 1-5 printed pages will be mailed with an invoice. Requests requiring the copying of more than 5 printed pages will require prepayment and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use”, that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if in our judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright law.

Trumbull Memory Project
The Trumbull Memory Project is an online archive of photographs, postcards, illustrations, and documents celebrating the history of Trumbull County, Ohio. Trumbull Memory Project documents the history of Warren and Trumbull County, its industries, schools, landmarks and people from the Civil War period to the present.
The materials used on this site are taken from collections donated to the Local History & Genealogy Center of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library. Trumbull Memory is administered by cooperative efforts of the Center and of the Information Technology Department of the library. We are committed to preserving the community’s images and words and expanding public access to our collections.
If you have photographs or other historical items which you think might be of interest, and which you’d be willing to either donate or lend to the library for digitizing, then we’d love to hear from you. We can be reached at (330) 399-8807, ext. 202.
