Portsmouth Archive Center

The Portsmouth Public/Private Archive will be a lasting home for the stories, records, and history that define Portsmouth and the greater Piscataqua Region. By preserving these materials, we honor the past while creating a meaningful resource for future generations.

With the support of our community, we will ensure these collections are cared for in a secure, climate-controlled environment and thoughtfully organized for long-term preservation. The Archive will be a place of discovery, welcoming researchers, students, and the public to explore our shared history, both in person and online.

Your support helps bring this vision to life, protecting our collective story and making it accessible to all.
