Welcome...

Welcome to the Camden Area History Center - a local history research library and museum that includes collections from the Camden Public Library, Camden Historic Resources Committee, Camden-Rockport Historical Society, and the Lincolnville Historical Society. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies on memberships and donations to support our mission.

The Camden Area History Center will be closed as of June 19 while we move to our new location at the Camden Public Library. Please join us for our grand reopening on August 4, 2008.

Our Mission is:

To collect, organize and preserve the records and information, whether published or unpublished, that are of historic significance to the residents of the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Lincolnville and to make such information available to the public.
To publish an illustrated history of the area by December 2007.
To establish a permanent home for these collections.

Please remember us when cleaning out your family pictures, movies, scrapbooks and other documents. If they are family treasures, we can quickly scan them and return them to you.
