In light of current circumstances, the Library would like to know how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed your life. Your unique perspective will help us create a first-person narrative to be archived in our history collection. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
Hunting for History – Need a project while quarantined at home? We’re looking for Derby history to add to our archives. If you find photos of the house you grew up in, your family business, everyday life on Derby streets or memorabilia from parades, celebrations or the Sterling Opera House, etc., please save it for us. When the Library re-opens for public access, contact us to let us know what you found and when we will be able to accept your donations and preserve history together. Any questions? Please contact Christine Boulay, Local History Coordinator at dplreference@biblio.org.
