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. In recent years, a paid summer intern has assisted the Historian in this connection. Village Historians have also been heavily involved in researching, writing and mounting exhibitions about Bronxville’s history. 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 current historian edited “Building A Suburban Village,” a heavily illustrated, 350-page volume, also published in 1998, which traced the Village’s growth from 1898 and before. 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 “Building A Suburban Village.” Currently the Historian is working on acquiring materials for the “The Bronxville Collection,” books written by or about Village residents; enlarging the reference files on notable Village residents; and acquiring recent photographs of Village homes and other buildings.
