A part of the community's story, and those of its inhabitants, from the early days of European settlement through roughly 19nn is told in the volumes "Rockwood Echoes - 90 Years of Progress (1870 - 1960)" and the later work entitled "100 Years of History, Rockwood Municipality".

Free digital versions of these and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0546), transcribed by a member or members in 1990 and updated in 2019. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).

Additionally, the Ogniwo Polish Museum centralizes, curates and makes available extensive records from various groups related to the communities established by the families of Polish descent who settled, lived in, died in, or contributed to the story of Manitoba.

Further, many records for defunct Roman Catholic congregations under its auspices in Manitoba are now kept in the Archives of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Winnipeg.
