Abstract: This case study of public-academic library collaboration examines how both types of institutions can combine their strengths to provide focused research instruction more effectively than each can accomplish alone. The authors partnered to create a public presentation that details the many house, neighborhood, and land history resources available at local repositories and that describes the often complex process of accessing and interpreting these data. This article evaluates how this type of collaboration compares to earlier cross-library partnerships as described in the literature and explains the many benefits that have resulted from their own collaborative endeavor.
