History of Buffalo and Erie County Book Digitized!

With the support of an RBDB grant from WNYLRC, Niagara University Library has completed digitizing "History of Buffalo and Erie County" -- a two-volume, 1,500 page book published in 1884.

The two volumes cover the history of Buffalo and Erie County from 1620 to 1884.

The particular appeal of this book is its level of detail. It is a treasure trove of factual information -- names, dates, people, and places. It really gives the reader a feel for what Buffalo and Erie County were like in the 19th century.
