Library and Research Center
O'Connell-Chapman Library and Research Center
The New England Civil War Museum
is the home of the O'Connell-Chapman Library and Research Center, which includes a wide variety of items of both the Civil War and post-war veterans periods. It also includes well over 1,000 different books, periodicals, and other manuscripts.
Because of the value and sometimes the conditions of these items certain procedures and regulations have been put into place to keep our collection safe and available for future use.
The research center is open during normal museum hours.
