HistERIE Week celebrates the History of Erie County, Pennsylvania through a week-long lineup of community-driven historic preservation, education, and engaging local history programs. Created by Erie County Public Library in 2022 as a way to highlight the resources of its Heritage Room, this series aims to connect the broader Erie community with opportunities to learn about our shared local history.
ECPL coordinates history-related programs happening at partner organizations and supplements with original programming at library locations. Click the Event Schedule tab to see what's in store for this year's HistERIE!

Curious about that mysterious room on the second floor of Blasco Library?
It's not as intimidating as you might think! The Heritage Room is full of local history and genealogy resources like books, maps, microfilm, and exhibits! While the materials in the room cannot be checked out, you are welcome to stop in and use these resources during our open hours. Our friendly team of history-loving staff can help you find the information you are looking for.
