Peabody, MA
The Peabody Historical Society's extensive collections, gathered over the course of the past century, document over 300 years of the region's history. The collections are instrumental in the development of the Society's exhibitions and educational programs because of their comprehensive nature and relevance to countless people, places and events in Peabody.
Located in the Osborne-Salata house, the Ruth Hill Library & Archives is the leading repository for historic printed material and images of the City of Peabody, and is an essential resource for scholars, genealogists and property owners. The collection includes vital records, genealogical materials, directories, maps, manuscripts and photographs, as well as materials on Peabody cemeteries, churches, clubs, schools and government. The Society also maintains a reference library which consists of volumes on local history and culture.
