Description
Portsmouth Athenaeum, located in Portsmouth, NH, is a renowned membership library that embraces a rich history and a commitment to mutual improvement. Dating back to the 18th century, membership libraries like Portsmouth Athenaeum were established to enhance educational resources within their communities. The name Athenæum is tied to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, and represents a space dedicated to the arts and sciences.
Today, Portsmouth Athenaeum carries on this tradition by housing an extensive collection of over 40,000 volumes, as well as an archive featuring manuscripts, photographs, objects, and ephemera that shed light on local history. In addition to its curated collection, the Athenaeum hosts captivating exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and a variety of educational and cultural programs. Open to the public, the research library and exhibition gallery provide free access to all.
Visitors can find the Athenaeum's three interconnected buildings in Market Square: the 1805 Building, the Foye Building, and the Peirce Block. Street parking is limited, with the High-Hanover parking garage being a recommended option. For those seeking a stimulating intellectual haven, Portsmouth Athenaeum stands as a cornerstone of knowledge, community, and cultural enrichment
