One of several hundred local municipal historians mandated by state law, the Bronxville Village Historian is a part-time volunteer appointed annually by the Village Board of Trustees. The current appointee, Eloise L. Morgan, is the latest of a series of residents who have worked to collect and preserve Bronxville's history.
The Historian is responsible for maintaining and enlarging the archive of Bronxville records housed in the Bronxville Local History Room. Village Historians have also been heavily involved in researching, writing and mounting exhibitions about Bronxville's history.



In 2010 the current Village Historian wrote a full-color, 112 page hard cover book on the history of Bronxville as told through vintage postcards of the Village. Bronxville Views: The Past in Picture Postcards can be ordered by downloading this order form.

The current historian also edited "Building A Suburban Village," a heavily illustrated, 350-page volume, published in 1998, which traced the Village's growth from 1898 and before.

A recent past Historian, Mary M. Huber, coauthored the 1998 pictorial history paperback, "Around Bronxville," and was heavily involved in the Hudson River Museum's 1989 exhibition on Bronxville's Lawrence Park Art Colony.
The Village Historian is the person to contact if you wish to do research in the Local History Room, obtain information about the history of Bronxville or its people, or purchase prints of archival photographs or copies of "Bronxville Views: The Past in Picture Postcards."
The Internet has become a major source of documents and images about Bronxville acquired by the Village Historian for the Local History Room.
