In addition to online resources, the library has hundreds of books about the history of Cleveland.

Special Collections maintains a large collection of rare, unusual, or other wise "special" items not fit for the rest of the library's stacks. Most of these collections pertain to local history. Here you will find not only books regarding local history, but manuscripts, letters, photographs, drawings, art, and other sorts of media from important moments and people in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio history. 

There is also a research guide devoted to local history research.
 

The Cleveland Memory Project is an initiative by the Michael Schwartz Library to create a searchable collection of photographs, images, recordings, texts, and other media that document the history of Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Area. You can enhance your presentation by including visuals from this collection! 

The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History is a great online resource, formerly published in print, that includes articles about the history of Cleveland, landmarks, neighborhoods, events, people, organizations, companies, and institutions.
