The purpose of the Huntington Historical Society’s Resource Center and Archives is to discover, collect, preserve, and make available for research books, pamphlets, broadsides, newspapers, periodicals, photographs, maps, atlases, manuscripts, audio-visual and other materials relevant to Huntington town history.  The society also collects material on those aspects of American, Northeast, New York, and Long Island history which have substantially involved or affected Huntington.  In addition the Resource Center and Archives collects reference material which support the objectives and programs of the Society and of its museum.
