Library staff can perform basic research and attempt to answer simple reference questions remotely. If you have more than one question, please submit a separate Research Request for each one. We are unable to provide in-depth research, which the library defines as research that would take longer than 30 minutes to complete; we encourage you to be specific in your requests.

Please note: Special Collections has a standard charge of $10 for research requests, which includes up 30 minutes of staff time to work on the request. This service includes up to 10 pages of copies for personal use only. We do our best to fill requests in a timely manner, though Special Collections has limited hours and staffing. We are generally unable to respond to requests Friday through Sunday or after hours.

Please contact the librarian either by phone, e-mail, or fill out the form below to submit a research question. You do not need a Haverhill Public Library card to submit a request.
