Introduction

Special Collections & Archives offers reserachers access to a broad and diverse range of materials about Brunswick and the surrounding towns and regions, including Bath, Phippsburg, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Freeport, North Yarmouth, Harpswell, and Topsham.  This guide provides an introduction to some of the holdings that are particularly strong in local history. Researchers should also consult the library catalog and the department's Archives and Manuscripts database for additional materials. 

Please note: the department also holds a large collection of uncataloged ephemera arranged by location.  Ask staff for more information.
