The Collection

The collection of the Chatham Historical Society includes approximately 3000 objects (paintings, decorative arts, maritime artifacts, etc.)--mainly American-made and mostly Chatham related.

In addition, our archives contain about 2500 photographs, 800 to 1000 books, and several thousand documents relating to the history of Chatham. These items have been (or are being) catalogued and are available to researchers either by visiting the Society or on the Internet.
