Burton Historical Collection

Created by: Nancy Andrews Presented by: Detroit Free Press

Get behind-the-scenes access to the Detroit Public Library. Normally visitors can’t roam the stacks of the Burton Historical Collection, but in this 3D Space you can view highlights of the collection on a personal tour. Among other documents, find a 1883 print from the Detroit Stove Works, a panoramic photo of the 1916 meeting of the National Medical Association in Kansas City, and "Purcell’s Railroad Pocket Book" travel guide for the US and Canada.
