RIVERDALE HISTORICAL PHOTO FOR SALE

 100 years ago Riverdale looked a lot different!  A custom framed copy of the panoramic view of Riverdale circa 1907 (42” W x 8 ½” H) is available for $125.00. This photo makes a wonderful gift! Please contact the library at 973-835-5044.  All proceeds support the Riverdale History Collection.

Because of its rich history, Riverdale citizens have a strong bond with this community. The Library understands these ties and has developed a Local History Collection specifically for this reason. We want our patrons to have access to as much local history as is available!

In 2004, the Library received a generous donation from the family of the late Dorothea Walker, Borough Historian. The materials the Walker family contributed to our Local History Collection are extraordinary and would amaze even the most committed local historians.

Also in 2004, the Library's Local History Collection was evaluated by the New Jersey Historical Commission. The Library received very high marks for maintaining our materials in an acid and pollution free environment. This means that the materials in our collection are being preserved for generations to come.

Please come in to view local memorabilia, yearbooks, photographs, scrapbooks and much, much more!

Because this collection is being compiled specifically for the citizens of Riverdale, your input and suggestions are appreciated!

Donations Welcome
