The Burlington Town Archives and Records Center organizes records by record group: each department and committee has a record group number. If the Public Records Division publishes a retention schedule for the department, the record group is the same as the schedule number.

As online finding aids are created, they will be delivered on this page. Archives are meant to be used; for more information on how much duplications cost, see our fee schedule (web, pdf).

To request copies of images, complete:

• Duplication order form web, pdf)
• Duplication agreement web, pdf)
• Publishing agreement web, pdf). Complete the publishing agreement if you wish to use the images in a publication (printed or electronic).

The archives provides one hour of reference or search time at no charge; after that searches are billed at $20 per hour. The archives are also available for your use during regular town hall hours (8:30 am-4:30 pm M-F, typically closed 12-1), the second and fourth Thursdays until 6:30 pm, and by appointment outside of those times. It is best to call first to make sure that the archivist will be on-site.

Please send your request to the Burlington Archives. Remember, we can only provide access to records that are in the custody of the archives. For other records, please contact the department directly.

Within each record group the records are separated by function e.g., program records, administrative records, etc. After that the records are organized by series title e.g., minutes, reports, decisions, etc. Since the lists are large text files, you may simultaneously hit Ctrl F for keyword searches.
