society publications
The Niagara Historical Society has been publishing the history of our community since 1896. The first 44 publications are available here for you to read about the conflicts, the people, the buildings and other aspects of life in Niagara. These 44 books provide an extensive and impressive collection of information about Niagara-on-the-Lake. These are not scans of the original publications but retyped editions. The Society would like to thank Maggie Parnell for her work on this project.
