About Us:
The purpose of the Wilbraham Collection is to collect and preserve materials that document the history of the Town of Wilbraham and its citizens, including the former South Parish (present-day Hampden) prior to 1878. Other geographical areas are included only if they add information relevant to Wilbraham history. The library primarily collects paper-based primary and secondary resources such as books, pamphlets, official reports, maps, works of local authors, photographs and unpublished diaries and manuscripts.
The collection is located on the top floor of the library in the Cutler Room, accessible by elevator or staircase. Because of the unique nature and delicate condition of many items, the collection is kept inside a locked storage case. Patrons wishing to use the collection must first speak to the Reference Librarian on duty who will unlock the case and provide a brief overview of the collection if needed. Detailed research assistance is not available.
