If
you would like to do your own research on Cleveland
architecture, or even the history of your own
house, there are plenty of resources available
to you. First of all, the Cleveland Public Library
offers some ideas about further exploring Cleveland
history:

The Library has also compiled an extensive guide
to researching specific buildings in Cleveland
and Cuyahoga County. Many of these resources require
the assistance of a staff person, so please ask
questions of the staff in the various agencies
listed. Although the Library is listed first,
you may start your research at any of the institutions
in this guide without duplicating your work. Throughout
the course of your research, you will find it
very helpful to keep a written log of every piece
of information you find and where you find it.
Special
thanks to the Cleveland
Public Library History & Geography Department
for providing this information.
