Program areas at New Hampshire Historical Society
Library and Museum: the New Hampshire Historical Society collects and preserves the most extensive collection of objects, books, manuscripts, and images related to New Hampshire history that can be found anywhere. These collections offer the most complete picture available of the social, economic, political, and cultural history of New Hampshire over nearly four centuries.
The Society offers public relations and member services for various visitors and patrons. Other programs include publications, exhibits, facilities, buildings, grounds, and security. The Society also operates an online store, which sells books and goods related to New Hampshire and its history.
Education: the Society offers a diverse range of educational programs, including research services, exhibitions, publications, school programs, public programs, technical services, and support of local historical societies. The Society's website and online collations catalog provide broad access to information on library, archival, and museum collections. The Society also offers the New Hampshire History Network (NHHN), a digital gateway that provides centralized access to New Hampshire's history and historical collections through partnerships with local historical societies and other collecting institutions. In 2017, the Society launched "The Democracy Project: Renewing History and Civics Education in New Hampshire Schools," an initiative to address the growing knowledge deficit in history and civics.
