We began collecting materials for the shortly after Louise Keuck was hired as head librarian (1962). At that time, Miss Keuck had the foresight to begin to save such things as Franklin Park telephone books, photographs, and high school yearbooks. Lillian O'Boyle was hired as local history librarian in 1973. The collection grew to include oral histories, newspaper clippings, biographical information on early settlers, additional photographs, maps, etc. Today we continue to collect these, as well as other materials. Our newspaper collection begins with the first issue of the Franklin Park Journal (September 13, 1946). The Franklin Park Journal combined with the Franklin Park Herald in 1983. We have continued this collection to date. Past issues of the newspaper have been bound and are available on microfilm. The East Leyden Yearbooks date back to 1928. We own the East Leyden yearbooks from the years 1928-32, 1934, 1936-39, and 1951-present. (We are hoping to fill in the missing dates to help complete our collection.
