Brevard County Libraries

Florida Historical Society

The founders of the Florida Historical Society determined their mission to collect, preserve and publish materials relating to the history of Florida. Their dream in 1856 was the creation of a library dedicated solely to this mission. In 1997, the Society's dream was realized with the opening of a library in Historic Cocoa Village. The FHS Library houses the Tebeau Collection which contains more than 6,000 volumes, an extensive map collection, manuscript and photographic holdings.
