Digital Collections
​We are so lucky to be included in the "Digitizing Local History Sources Project," which was funded by a $1.5 million grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation. Several delicate artifacts from the collection were expertly digitized by students at the Long Island University Palmer School of Library and Information Science. The collection includes 51,000 images from 40 historical organizations on Long Island. 

Follow this link to explore the following from the Shelter Island Historical Society collection:
- James Havens Ledgers (1765 - 1768) and (1770-1779)
- Shelter Island Presbyterian Church Records (1785 - 1899)
- Daybook (1792-1793)
- Four Ship's Logs and Journals (1822 - 1826)
   
If you wish to use any of the images in the digital collections please reach out by emailing, archivist@shelterislandhistorical.org to discuss our materials permission and use policy.
