Materials primarily include photographs of industrial plant buildings, company officers and employees.
Local History Room staff have collected photographs and newspaper clippings on various subjects regarding Barberton history and nearby history for over 30 years. These materials have been organized and stored by subject in scrapbooks and photograph albums. In some cases, individual photographs have been added to the scrapbooks while also being part of separate gift donations. In those cases where these have been identified, the actual photographs will be marked with the accession and object numbers of the original donation.
Copyrights
A photocopier machine is available in the Local History Room for researchers who wish to make copies of materials for a small fee. It is the sole responsibility of the researcher to ensure that all copyright laws are being complied with. Researchers who wish to make photograph reproductions should enquire with the Local History Librarian for photograph reproduction policies and procedures.
