White Plains Local History Pamphlet Files

Local History Pamphlet Files are arranged by subject and include newspaper & magazine articles, photographs, brochures, and other ephemera. The pamphlet files are continually added to as items of historical interest (future interest as well as current interest) are identified. Pamphlet files are kept in locked drawers (ask at the Reference Desk to have the drawers unlocked). Please be careful when handling items in the pamphlet files - some of them are very old and fragile.
