The Fire Museum’s Library and Archives are available for research on fire-related subjects for students, scholars, or anyone interested in discovering more about our rich fire service heritage.
With numerous photos, documents, and related material in our collection, we have the ability to provide information that is not readily available through other sources. Many of our documents are not digitized or otherwise available online.
Due to staff and space restraints, we generally do not allow the public direct access to our Archives. For most research requests, we are happy to find and retrieve the documents related to your research topic. If you have a research topic in mind, or are just interested in finding out more about our collections, please get in touch.
