PreVIEW is your portal to our digital image collection. More than 13,000 images are available at present, with more being added all the time.

PreVIEW features images from many of our image collections, and depicts locations from all over the world, with a particular focus on Hamilton's local history. In fact, most of the images featured on the Local History & Archives website, which you are currently using, are freely available on PreVIEW.

The city of Hamilton's cybersecurity-related outage has affected some of HPL's services. Our online image database, PreVIEW, is unavailable, and we are not able to provide a timeline for its return. Some images, such as postcards, can still be found online on Flickr.
