Are you researching the history of the City of Newton or its residents, buildings, and organizations? Historic Newton is a good place to start. Use the list below to search for materials that we keep in our Archives and Museums, as well as tools you can use to help direct you.

 

Information about researching your house may be found with our general Research Resources. Newton's municipal records are held separately in the City Archives. The Historic Preservation Commission identifies, preserves, and protects historic resources in Newton. If you still can't find what you need, please fill out a Research Request Form.
