Depi kreyasyon li nan lane 1875, Bibliyotèk Piblik Haverhill la te kenbe yon koleksyon liv ki gen rapò ak istwa lokal yo, jeneyaloji, ak powèt natif natal John Greenleaf Whittier. Yon ti tan apre ensepsyon bibliyotèk la 1873, lokal Whittier Club la te kòmanse yon koleksyon ofisyèl Whittier nan Bibliyotèk la alantou 1887. An 1916, Koleksyon Pecker a, te dedye a New England, eta, ak istwa vil yo, te kòmanse e li te pita elaji an 1932 pou enkli istwa fanmi ak materyèl jeneyalojik. An 1923, Koleksyon Ansyen Terhill te fòmèlman etabli pou prezève materyèl bibliyotèk ki deja egziste epi kolekte materyèl adisyonèl pou jenerasyon kap vini yo. An 1969, avèk konstriksyon yon nouvo bilding bibliyotèk, plan yo te rele pou de chanm kay lè sa a 20,700 volim ki te fè moute Whittier, Istwa lokal, ak koleksyon Jeneyaloji. An 1997, avèk renovasyon bibliyotèk la, Koleksyon Espesyal yo te deplase nan twazyèm Etaj la kote li kounye a abite kounye a.
