Visit the Research Center
The Luxembourg American Cultural Society is proud to have one of the largest collections of resources pertaining to Luxembourg genealogy, heritage, and culture outside of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg itself.
The Dooley-Wagner Research Center is open to both LACS members and the general public, but all of its materials are non-circulating. It is staffed by a professional curator who is assisted by dedicated volunteers.
While your museum admission includes use of the Research Center, to maintain the preservation of our research materials and to ensure a satisfactory visit with staff attention to your researching needs, appointments are required for the Research Center.
Appointments are available during the regular museum operation hours which can be found here: https://www.lacs.lu/hours-admission/
Contact the LACS Curator, Caitlin Armstrong – carmstrong@lacs.lu or call (262) 476-5086 to schedule an appointment.
