The Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library was begun on the private library of Clarence Monroe Burton, attorney, Detroit historiographer and founder of the C.M. Burton Abstract Co. Mr. Burton's original intention was to assemble a collection on the history of Detroit. Realizing that Detroit's history was inextricably connected to that of Michigan and the Old Northwest, and those histories to that of Canada and New France, he assembled a collection that was one of the most important private historical collections in the country.
