Haliburton County Collection (U-Links)

The Haliburton County Collection is located at the U-Links Centre and is searchable online. The collection catalogues "grey literature": primarily written material, produced on all levels of government, academics, business, and industry, in print and electronic format, that is not published commercially. Grey literature tells the unofficial story of a place; it speaks of the living heritage of a community and is valuable in maintaining a community's identity and in planning for its future.
