The Museum’s Peter Haughton Research Library is always happy to receive donations of used books and magazines relating to harness racing or the Standardbred horse. If your donation is not in our collection, it will be added to the Museum’s research resources. If it is a third copy of a title we already have, with your permission we will make it available for sale.
This ongoing project is extremely important, as proceeds from the sale of used books and magazines by the Museum go towards the rebinding and restoration of older volumes and the acquisition of new ones for the library.
