Using Local History Materials

In order to preserve access to many irreplaceable items:

• Local History materials are made available to customers by the Local History Librarian, who supervises the materials’ use. The Local History Collection is not a self-serve browsing collection.
• Local History materials, including books, must be used in the library and cannot be checked out or removed from the building.
• Researchers should wear gloves (provided) when handling fragile materials or unprotected photographs.
• While a researcher uses Local History materials, the researcher’s ID will be held with a list of materials in use.
• A reference librarian can make the following materials available to researchers when the Local History Librarian is not available:
  • School yearbooks
  • Local History books
  • Materials that have been set aside by the Local History Librarian for that researcher’s use.
