History buffs will be able to dive into Windsor’s storied past at the Windsor Public Library’s new Local History Centre.
The centre, located at the library’s central branch at 850 Ouellette Ave., is an enclosed space where customers can access resources from the library’s local history collection and the municipal archive.
The centre officially opens on Thursday.
“The Local History Centre showcases the rich and diverse heritage and culture of Windsor and provides an important visual connection to bygone eras,” said Windsor Public Library CEO Kitty Pope.
“It will be particularly popular with local authors, genealogists, historians and others interested in the history of Windsor and Essex County.”
The centre will feature more than 7,500 photographs and 20,000 sets of architectural drawings, maps and plans.
