Profiling Your Community
Printed Materials


This guide was created by Martha Hale.


  1. What materials can you get from the Chamber of Commerce?
    Tourism or Visitors Bureau?
    City Hall?
    Local organizations?
    City archives or museum?



  2. Check out what is on the shelves of your library that is about the community.



  3. See if the City Clerk's office can help you find a list of businesses that are licensed.



  4. Continue looking at the newspapers.



  5. Flesh out your findings from the telephone book.



  6. If you think of someplace else to go, do so! We've given you some ideas but your own will enrich your community profile.
