How to use the Rutland Historical Society Finding Aids

The two finding aids – one by topic and the other by person/family will help you find out if the Rutland Historical Society has material on the topic or person you are interested in.

Topics are hierarchical (up to 3 levels) and can be reached from any of the levels.  For example, Green Mountain College can be found under Schools and Education, Colleges, and Green Mountain College.  You can get to these by clicking on “S”, “C” or “G”.  Or you can browse the index pages and go directly to the indicated page by clicking it on the Pages tab on the left.  A third way is to use the Adobe Reader search.  The column Collection/Material indicates that we have material on a given topic.  In order to get a more detailed description of the material, use the Contact information to call, email or mail us with your inquiry.

The People Finding Aid works the same way, except that there is no topic hierarchy, just the name, ordered by last name.

If you do not find what you are looking for, please contact us.  This listing does not yet include all our holdings, and does not go into detail, so even though a topic or person does not appear in these listings, we may still be able to locate material related to your inquiry.
