Resource Information
In collaboration with community partners, Burlington Public Library’s Local History Digital Collections make available a variety of digitized historical materials, documenting the history of Burlington and its pioneer families.
Developed and managed with resources held in the Burlington History Room, Burlington Digital Archive provides access to digital reproductions of historical materials dating back to 1873, when the villages of Wellington Square and Port Nelson merged to become the Village of Burlington. The material in the digital archive consists of photographs, letters, postcards, original records, family papers, scrapbooks, maps, ephemera, directories and more.
