This is meant as a guide, and is by no means an exhaustive summary of the holdings of the Archives. The Archives offers the use of a research room to view the holdings and assistance by a knowledgeable staff. The Commonwealth museum exhibits a display of the history of the people, events, and politics of Massachusetts. Also on location is the Massachusetts Historical Commission, another division within the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, whose function is the preservation of historical developments throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Free parking is available and the building is handicapped accessible.
