CLAIRE RECK LOCAL HISTORY ROOM

Currently the library has a volunteer available on Monday afternoons; however, other days and times may be available upon request. To request an appointment, call the library at 734-428-8045 or email request@manchesterlibrary.info at least 48 hours in advance of your desired appointment time.
Manchester District Library maintains a collection of materials on the history of the City of Manchester and surrounding townships (Bridgewater, Freedom, Manchester, and Sharon). These include newspaper archives, published histories of the area, collections of old photographs, original typed or handwritten records, and newspaper clippings.
Access to most of these materials is restricted to supervised use in the Claire Reck Local History room, which requires making an appointment in advance. If you'd like more information, please email your inquiry to request@manchesterlibrary.info Manchester Enterprise
