The Archives of Marblehead History

Available to scholars and researchers, the well-catalogued Archives are a treasure house of personal papers, books, journals, genealogical materials and over 10,000 photographs.

Among the highlights of the extensive collection are the journals of Ashley Bowen, an eighteenth-century Marblehead sailor, carpenter and jack-of-all-trades who recorded his observations in word and picture. His watercolor and ink drawings of vessels, buildings and daily life are invaluable sources of information and delight.

The Archives are a resource for histories of the buildings that comprise Marblehead’s townscape, as well as information about Marblehead inhabitants, from Revolutionary War General John Glover to 2004 Olympic Gold Medal cyclist Tyler Hamilton.

Appointments recommended.
