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.
A stone & plaque on the grounds of the Floral Showhouse. “Niagara Falls A Sri Chinmoy International Peace Falls. The Falls of Niagara joins hundreds of beautiful, significant and inspiring sites throughout the world which have been dedicated to the cause of peace and international friendship. With its thunderous majesty, Niagara reminds us of the boundless energizing power of a higher force. Such will one day be the power of peace on earth. When human beings everywhere aspire and strive for peace based on love and the feeling of oneness, the cascading power of this peace will transform the fate of humanity. A Sri Chinmoy Peace Site is born of the spirit of oneness. It exists for one reason: to inspire a stronger sense of internationalism and fellowship among its peoples in all countries. It takes its name from a man who has dedicated his life to this goal. Sri Chinmoy is an international ambassador of peace who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of world harmony and the fulfilment of the potential of the human spirit. Niagara Falls: a spectacular natural wonder. World peace: an unprecedented human achievement.
