Genealogical Resources of the Lebanon County Historical Society
Tuesday, February 17, 2026

The Lebanon County Historical Society (LCHS) was founded in 1898. Its building at 924 Cumberland Street is a late 18^th-century home that houses the Hauck Memorial Archives and Library. Owing to the extensive settlement of Germanic people in the Lebanon area, many of the activities of this ethnic group dominate their records. Among the original and transcribed documents held there are church records, deeds, wills, accumulated family files, family genealogy books, restricted family files, ledgers and business records, tax records, and photographs. One example is the 1717 Eisenhauer Family Bible that has 5 pages of 18^th-century manuscript pages of 1^st and 2^nd generation vital records.

Bruce D. Bomberger has served as archivist and currently as curator for the Lebanon County Historical Society. Prior to these positions, he gained broad experience working over 35 years as a museum curator and in historic architectural preservation. He has done research, produced articles and assembled exhibits on the subjects of log building preservation, the Pennsylvania Germans, tool technology, early iron making, African American history, and Pennsylvania German furniture. He holds history degrees from Lebanon Valley College, Penn State University, and Lehigh University.
