Manuscripts, Archives and
Special Collections Directory
http://mblc.state.ma.us/spec_coll.html
|
| 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. | |
