Our photograph collection includes more than 15,000 photographs spanning
from the Civil War through today. In addition to modern color and black
& white photographs, numerous examples of tintypes, ambrotypes, and
daguerrotypes are also part of our extensive collection. The photographs
are house in our library and archives and are available for study during
library hours, Tuesdays through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm. Reproductions
are also available for a fee.
Subjects include family gatherings,
historic home and buildings, school graduations, natural disasters, town
organization, parades, and many more.
Currently, a project is underway to digitize and catalogue the entire
collection to both protect the original photographs and, at the same
time, make then more accessible to researchers. If you are interested in
volunteering to help with this project, please call 978.475.2236 or

As this project continues, we look forward to sharing additional
images on Society's website. The slide show below includes images
recently displayed for the 2008 Main Street Memories
exhibit at the Historical Society.
