The first stop when researching the history of a town or its people is often a visit to the town library or historical society. There one can access published histories and references seldom found on shelves elsewhere. That's still true, but many of those dusty old tomes have been digitized and are now accessible via the Internet. Here you will find our digital library of books that our volunteers consult when responding to queries from the community. These volumes are out-of-copyright and links are posted here to Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files. For more recently published references, you must still visit a library or historical society.
Clicking on the title will open the webpage at which the volume is hosted by a digital library. Clicking on the image of a volume will cause the PDF to be downloaded directly. Please alert us if a link is broken.
