Local History & Genealogy

The Special Collections room at Portsmouth Public Library includes information and resources pertaining to local history and genealogy topics for Portsmouth, the Seacoast, and some surrounding cities and towns.

While the collection development efforts have focused on acquiring materials relating primarily to the city of Portsmouth, information about other towns in Rockingham County, including town histories for Strafford County, NH, York County in Maine, and a bit of Essex County in Massachusetts, are also available.
