The Research Library

The story of Rose O’Neill is tucked away in our research library in letters, poems, shopping lists, land records, and photographs. More than 20,000 pages of historical records are archived here. We are currently working on putting these historical documents on DVD to preserve the integrity of the originals.

The Bonniebrook Research Library and Rose O’Neill Archives are open by appointment during regular hours. The following guidelines are intended to make your experience a pleasant one, and to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of future researchers.
