Scarsdale Treasures in the Digital Public Library of America

Caleb Heathcote Buys the Richbell Farm by Gordon Samstag

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is an all-digital library that aggregates metadata—meaning information describing an item—and thumbnail images for millions of photographs, manuscripts, books, sounds, moving images, and more from libraries, archives, and museums around the United States. DPLA brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world.

Here are a few of the items that turn up when you search the word "Scarsdale":

• The 1940 Census Enumeration District Map of Scarsdale from the National Archives.
• Caleb Heathcote Buys the Richbell Farm, a study for the mural at the Scarsdale Post Office at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
• Lewis G. Morris' Catalogue of the Scarsdale Stud, an 1870 catalog for an auction of horses scanned by Cornell University Library for the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
