The Society Today
In the two centuries since the founding of the MHS, its
mission has remained constant: to collect, preserve, make accessible, and
communicate manuscripts that promote the study of Massachusetts and the nation.
The institution today encompasses five programmatic areas: Library,
Publications, Research Programs, The Adams Papers, and Education and Public
Programming. The MHS is a member of the Independent Research Library Association (IRLA).
Through publications, digital images of materials presented
at their website (http://masshist.org/), and
documentary television programs and films, important historical materials from
the Society's collections reach local, national, and international audiences.
Now in its third century as a publisher, the Society has brought hundreds of
books into print, most of them drawn from or reflective of the archive's
holdings.
