Access the Dufferin County Museum & Archives!

A partnership between Dufferin County Museum, Shelburne Public Library (SPL) and Grand Valley Public Library (GVPL) has developed to make resource materials from the Museum more accessible to the community. Dufferin County Museum houses a rich collection of books, pamphlets and resources guides used to describe and assist in ascertaining the date, background heritage, location and authenticity of early Canadian antiques and collectibles.

How do you use this new service?

1. Go to “Our Catalogue”
2. Choose the “Advanced Search” option and select “Dufferin County and Museum Archives” in the “Limit to any of the following” section
3. In the search box type what you are looking for and press the “Search” button
4. Write down the Title and Call number of the item you want from the catalogue and call the library (519-925-2168) or come in to the library front desk to put in an inter-library loan request for the materials
5. Within a few days the materials will arrive at the library and you will receive a phone call notifying you that they are available
   

Note: Not all materials available from the museum are allowed to leave the library and must be used on site only
