Publications Department

The Publications Department produces a portion of the Society's general publications. Initiated in 1792 to pursue the "disseminate" portion of the Society's founding mission, the institution's editorial activities have over the course of two centuries grown into a respected publications department responsible for bringing hundreds of volumes into print. The venerable Collections series, now numbering over 90 volumes, comprises thorough documentary editions drawn from the wealth of invaluable papers in the Society's archive. More recent publishing initiatives for the Society include collections of essays on historical topics, illustrated paperbacks, and Massachusetts Historical Review, an annual journal.

Other publishing branches of the Society include The Adams Papers, devoted to the creation of a comprehensive edition of the Adams Papers collection based at the MHS. For more detailed descriptions of all of the Society's publications, please follow the link to In Print.
