Local Studies
The Local Studies Collection at the
Bathurst Clark Resource Library has three components: Local history;
Genealogy; and Municipal Documents. All items in the Local Studies
Collection may be accessed through the Vaughan Public Libraries’
catalogue.
The Local Studies Collection assists
individuals accessing information concerning the history of Vaughan as
a township, a town and finally a city. Genealogists will find material
to construct family trees, while library users needing access to
municipal documents - both current and historical - will benefit from
this collection.
