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!
