Research Your House
There are various sources that can be used to document the history of a building. With the exception of certain well-known Hamilton-area homes, most do not have a ready-made history to consult. Therefore, the researcher needs to construct a history from scratch using the available sources. This process can take a great deal of time and effort, but the results are very rewarding.
There are also specialized finding aids for other collections available in the department.
Check in the Where-to-Look under the surname or ask for assistance at the Local History & Archives Information Desk.
There are also invaluable records that can be found at the Hamilton City Clerk's office.
