As part of its mandate to help preserve the heritage of the City of Niagara Falls, the library regularly photographs different aspects of the city and its natural surroundings, using digital technology since the late 1990s. In addition, some residents wish to share their images but retain the originals. These are scanned into the library's databases and then returned to the owner. Both of these types of images are in the Digital Collections.
