About Massachusetts Historical Society
The Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS), founded in 1791, is an independent research library that collects manuscripts of the personal papers (unpublished letters and diaries) of individuals and families from Massachusetts over the entire course of American history.
The MHS holds millions of unique documents central to the study of American history, as well as book, photographs, works of art and artifacts that support research in its manuscript collections. Among the Historical Society's irreplaceable national treasures are: John Winthrop's journal of the founding of Massachusetts Bay in 1630; the extraordinary correspondence between John and Abigail Adams, including her eloquent appeal for him to 'Remember the Ladies' in drafting the Declaration of Independence, as well as his account of the writing of the Declaration; Thomas Jefferson's personal papers (his descendents lived here in Massachusetts) including his architectural drawings for Monticello; letters exchanged by Abraham Lincoln and Edward Everett of Massachusetts after they delivered their respective speeches at Gettysburg; the records of the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Infantry, the first Afro-American regiment raised in the North during the Civil War; as well as thousands of collections of personal papers of men and women from all walks of life.
As part of its continued community involvement, each year the Society hosts more than forty public programs including almost a dozen public lectures and seminar series on early American, urban and immigration, and environmental history, as well as other special events.
