Access to Our Collections
The Mystic River Historical Society actively collects documents, photographs and artifacts with historic links to the Mystic area. If you are ‘down-sizing’ and discover collections of family letters, photographs, journals, diaries, or other documents, in your attic or cellar, please consider donating them to the MRHS. Our repository is a secure archival environment, accessible to future generations of your family, as well as to our community.
Our professional curatorial staff welcomes your visit and/or inquiry. We will be happy to help you in any way possible with your Mystic area research, be it by phone, U.S. mail, email, or in person.
