• Construction Disruption at the State Library. The library is undergoing a window restoration project that may affect access to some of our research and genealogy resources. At times certain areas will be inaccessible to the public and prevent books from being retrieved. Please call the library at 603-271-2144 to inquire about construction issues that may impact usage of our materials.

• The New Hampshire State Publications Digital Library is a database that provides easy and permanent access to born-digital publications created by agencies of the State of New Hampshire. All publications are in the public domain unless otherwise noted.

  The database contains digital materials published by the several state agencies and issued by the Officer of the Governor. Content is updated monthly.   For agency publications not contained in the digital library, please search the NHSL Catalog or call the State Library reference staff at (603) 271-2144.
