A part of the Mission of the Dover Historical Society is to preserve and exhibit historic documents.  As a part of this new and expanded website, we are pleased to share these valuable pieces of our history.

The Dover Reporter (complete edition, containing all years of publication)
Dover Days Gone By (2 'editions', both by Richard H. Vara)
The Dover Union Iron Mill (hardcover, 112 pages, published 2003; Richard H. Vara)

The Historical Society owns many more historic documents, most notably Frank Smith's books, written prior to 1920. It is our hope to add more of these documents to this site as time and money permit. If there is a project you would like to fund, let us know and we will work with you on it.
