The Local History Resource Center is dedicated to the acquisition and preservation of all types of materials related to the history of Riverside within its regional context. The Local History collections are used for research, educational purposes, and exhibition.

Due to the fragile nature of our local history materials, library patrons must schedule an appointment with the Local History Librarian, Dominique McCafferty.
