Local History Information
______________________________________________________________________________________
The Earlville Free Library contains a small collection of local
history and geneology information that is not available for
circulation. Some of the items in our collection include cemetary
records for Earlville up to 1945, Sherburne-Earlville school yearbooks,
local newspapers on microfilm and CD-ROM, photographs of the village
dating back to the late nineteenth century, and many rare old books on
the history
of New York state, Central New York, Earlville and the surrounding
communities. For information about our holdings, please check the web
catalogue or call us during business hours at (315) 691-5931. Since
these items do not circulate, you will have to come in to look at them.
