Photos and Special Collections

The Historical Society maintains an enormous amount of documents, photos, and other materials about people, places, and events in Greenfield; too much to make available on our website but we welcome you to contact us and make an appointment to see any of our files. We may only have one picture or one document or a whole folder full for any particular subject.

Below is a list of collection categories that we maintain. Our archives are constantly changing so if you do not see a specific collection of interest, please call us or send an email with your specific interest. Remember if we are asked to perform research, please complete and remit the Research Request Form with a check for $10.00.
