Digital PML is the Patchogue-Medford Library's repository of digitized materials, containing scanned books, postcards, photographs, maps, virtual exhibits and more.

There are two great ways to get started. The first way is to use the general website search box, which searches all Digital PML content, in the upper left hand corner of the site. The second way is to visit our Search page, which will give you several alternative and more specific ways of starting your search.

Most images and text in Digital PML are in the Public Domain unless noted otherwise, and are therefore freely available for reuse. We request that as a courtesy you correctly cite the original content and credit the Patchogue-Medford Library, and if possible link back to the original content.

Included in the description of each item in Digital PML, there is a copyright statement.
