Historical/Genealogical Research and Requests –

The library’s Reference Historical
Collection (RHC) contains over 1000 books and other materials to aid in your genealogy and/or Claremont/local history research. The collection contains Claremont newspapers from 1823 to 2010 on microfilm and The Eagle Times in pdf format from 2011 to the present. Also available are Claremont vital reports from 1887 to 1942, New Hampshire town histories, genealogies, and much more. If you are unable to come to the library to do your research the library staff is available to assist you. The library charges a fee of $40.00 per genealogy/local history request (about an hour or two of research time). For more information contact Colin Sanborn at 542-7017 or csanborn@claremontnh.com.
