Research:

Year round we are available for research into more information on your family or community.  The materials in our collection document the diverse people and buildings, the associations and businesses, and the institutions and events which form Williamstown’s rich history from the earliest days to the present time.  We work to increase the public’s knowledge of Williamstown’s past by using our materials to mount exhibitions, present educational programs, facilitate research and enhance community events.
