In particular, the Library is looking for Derby history-related items to add to our archives such as: photos of your childhood home, the family business and everyday life in Derby neighborhoods; memorabilia from parades, celebrations or theater playbills, etc.

So please let us know what hidden treasures you uncover so we can preserve history together.

Any questions?
