Research Facilities
The Society has an extensive library of books and pamphlets about
Cape Cod in general and Chatham in particular.We have other records, such
as real estate tax records from early in the 19th century to the present,
Chatham newspapers from the middle 19th century through the first half
of the 20th century, old letters, photographs, ships logs, ledgers, and
similar archives.
Genealogy
The best source of genealogy of Chatham families is in The Eldredge Public
Library, but the Society has the complete genealogy of the Nickerson,
Eldredge, and Atwood families and additional information on many other
families.All of the facilities and archives of the Museum are available
to interested persons by appointment.
With the completion of the recent expansion and renovation
in 2005, the museum now has a separate Research Room that provides ample
space and equipment for those who wish to make use of our archival material.
One key feature is computer access in this room to all of our archival
files.
The society has several collections of papers belonging
to members of the Chatham Community. These collections have been arranged
and entered into our computer. Visitors are invited to come to the museum
to use the collections in our research center.
