Manuscript Archive
The Elmhurst History Museum staff is always adding to our collection of searchable, online research tools. We've recently digitized manuscripts important to Elmhurst history, including yearbooks from York High School. This collection will continue to grow over time, so check back soon for more additions to this archive.

Historically only available on-site through microfilm, these papers have been painstakingly scanned by museum volunteers using a digital microfilm reader furnished by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, and are now available for the public to browse.
