The Richland Community Library Local History Room focuses on the community of Richland and its history and houses historical information about Richland, Gull Lake, and the surrounding areas.
If you have any questions about our local history collection, please email the library at richlandclibrary@gmail.com or call us at (269) 629-9085.
In 2019, Richland Community Library partnered with Western Michigan University to write a grant offered by the Institute of Museums and Libraries and the Library of Michigan to digitize items/photos from the local history collection.
The grant funding and partnership focused on "improved access to services and information in areas of local history or special collections." Please click on the photo to the right to access this collection hosted by WMU and the Digital Public Library of America.
A special thanks to Ken & Carol Baker.
