Stoneham Historical Society

Pride in Our Past... Faith in Our Future

Research

The Stoneham (MA) Historical Society is a nonprofit all volunteer organization. All proceeds from research requests go directly into maintaining our archives. We can’t do what we do without financial support, and we all have a stake in preserving what we have for future generations.

If you think our Museum or Library might contain information that would aid your research, you are welcome to contact us to set up an appointment or submit a research request. You may do so by mail or email. When contacting us by mail, be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope so we may send you a reply.

We will evaluate your request and determine if we believe we have any information that might help you. Once you look over the evaluation, you can contact us as to whether you wish to proceed. We will NOT release any research findings beyond the evaluation until payment is received.

When making a research request, please be as specific as possible.  Let us know who you are, what information you want, why you are conducting the research, and how you plan to use the information or material you are seeking.
