Resources for the Study of Winchester's History
Thomas J. Michalak has compiled a new document that helps with the study of our local history. Michalak's Resources for the Study of Winchester's History is now on Library's website. This document brings together in one place and online a list of opportunities and resources for the exploration and study of Winchester's history. Listed here is a selection of the most consulted Town documents, books and pamphlets on the general history of Winchester and the architecture of Winchester. This resource guide is a starting place to explore Winchester's history. Tom Michalak is a member of the Winchester Historical Society who volunteers his time and expertise in the creation and maintenance of this list of resources.
You may call us with a question during library hours or e-mail your question at any time.
