We at the St. Louis Public Library are interested in preserving
the history of Our Fair City; in building collections that document its
history. So we are interested in getting
materials about or related to the St. Louis region. An example - we get many requests for St.
Louis City high school yearbooks. We
have many for various City high schools (past & present) but there are gaps
in our collection. We would love for
people to contact us to see if they have just the ones we need to fill these
gaps.
Do you have other St. Louis books or materials? St. Louis neighborhood material; books by
local authors; and works on St. Louis businesses, churches, schools, and
cemeteries are other categories that we look for. If you have St. Louis books or other materials,
check with us.
We also know that some of you have collected on specific
subjects for years, carefully compiling a collection that cannot be found
elsewhere. The Library will also
consider donations of such unique collections that can complement items we
already have. Examples are
African-American materials; sheet music; architectural subjects; the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition (1904 World’s Fair); and (of course) family or county histories.
To find out if you can help us—or if we can help you—call or
email our Special Collections Department (314-539-0399).
