Welcome to your online Buffalo reading room. We have links to over 4,200 full text, open access, old and new, nonfiction Buffalo & Erie County-related books, pamphlets, catalogs, dissertations, theses, plans, studies (so many plans and studies!), National Register nominations, yearbooks, diaries & periodicals. Nearly all are PDFs.

Please understand that we do not scan or upload books. We find them online where others have digitized them. Our links are at Raindrop.io, a social bookmarking site, tagged & organized as shown below. We are still scouring the web for new additions.

New: our Archive.org page has Buffalo articles & chapters culled from Google Books that are too short to include below.
