State of Florida Collection

State of Florida

The Mandel Public Library has been collecting documents and books about Florida since its inception. Most of our Florida books can be found in our Florida Room, located on the fourth floor of the library. However, some documents and books have been separated from that room, creating this collection.

Scope and Content

The State of Florida Collection comprises various documents and journals, as well as a bound book collection of Florida Geological Studies. The finding aid for the archival materials is divided by type, alphabetized, and then sorted further by date.
