The Giftshop also offers a selection of publications pertaining to Goulbourn's past. Some of these books are of particular interest to genealogists that trace their family back to the Goulbourn area. All of these books are suited to the "armchair historian", who has a general interest in Goulbourn and the development of Upper Canada.
