Archives at the Charles River Museum

The museum is actively in the process of cataloging its archives. At this time, we have identified and begun cataloging the collections listed below.

There are other collections which have not yet been surveyed and will be added to this list in the future. As finding aids become available they will be added to the collections and will be available online.

Researchers and other interested parties can have limited access to these collections while they are being catalogued.

If you are interested in accessing these collections, please contact the collections manager,
