    Research Our Heritage

    Lawrence Hill spent a lot of time in Shelburne, researching for his award winning novel The Book of Negroes.

     

    Whether you're writing a book or researching your family tree, Shelburne offers many research resources, including the Museum's own Resource Centre.

     

    You may also want to consult the Shelburne County Archives and Genealogical Society, a short walk from Shelburne's Heritage District, or the Black Loyalist Heritage Society in nearby Birchtown.
