The Archives

The Collection

The Historic Harrisville Archives keeps records of Historic Harrisville, historic properties within the Town of Harrisville, events that have shaped the town, and families whose papers were donated to the archives. Access a portion of our collection online or make an appointment to visit the archives in person. Vital records from 1870 to the present should be searched by contacting the Harrisville Town Clerk. For further records, contact the Historical Society of Cheshire County.
