Special Collections

The Local History Room Special Collections is open to the public (unless otherwise stated) under the supervision of the archivist. Patrons must sign a form agreeing to the rules and regulations of the Local History Room before gaining access to the collections.

The Special Collections are divided into the following categories:

• manuscript collections
• pamphlet collections
• image collections
• newspapers
• yearbooks

In addition, we have a map collection and a small artifact collection.

Reproductions of materials, including photographs and maps may be possible. Additional information is available at the Local History Room.

Please note that some of our materials are stored offsite and require 24-hour notice for use.
For more information on Special Collections please email the Archivist at history@kingstonpubliclibrary.org or call 781-585-0517 x6277.
