The Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections Directory is a
guide and locator of collections residing in Massachusetts libraries, archives,
historical societies and town clerk's offices. This directory provides access in
one location to the holdings in more than 650 repositories in the Commonwealth.
Often such holdings are not fully cataloged or known outside the library yet are
of great potential research value. The holdings are available by town/location,
institution, repository, collection description, special collection and through
name and/or subject searches. In addition, the directory provides information
about the institution, contacts, services available and volume of material, as
well as directions to the repository. |
