Scope and Content

The UMass Lowell Libraries Center for Lowell History houses an extensive collection of microfilmed materials. Holdings include diaries, journals, magazines, and regional newspapers. Fist published in 1880 and continuing to the present, The Lowell Sun represents the longest continuous narrative of Lowell culture and History. Other microfilm highlights include French Language publications such as L'étoile (1886-1957), the diaries of Lowell abolitionist Rev. Theodore Edson, and selections from the Edgar Allan Poe's archives

Users can also order microfilm through Interlibrary Loan and use the view/scan stations at the CLH.

The UMass Lowell University Library continues to work to digitize our holdings and share them on the UMass Lowell Archives and Special Collections Internet Archive Site.
