The museum's archive is the repository of some of Gloucester's earliest records. We have family papers, ships' papers, a collection of original deeds, as well as a photo archive comprising approximately 10,000 images which, together with our other collections, help us to know the life of Gloucester's people from the 17th-century to the present. The library is available for research Wednesday through Saturday. Please call ahead to check on library hours and the availability of specific materials. The museum is located in the heart of downtown Gloucester, one block north from Main Street and one short block east of City Hall and the Sawyer Free Library.
Metered parking is available.
