This page lists the local history resources in the North Castle Public Library. The local Historical Society, which meets in Smith’s Tavern, is also included in this listing, as are the Westchester Archives. They have additional photos, oral histories, and maps that we do not archive at the library.

In addition to the papers that have been digitized, the library holds many of the papers from late 1915 to approximately 2004, either in hard copy in the basement, or on portable hard drives and microfilm in the reference room. This is not a continuous run; please see the link from the Historical Society for a more detailed listing.
