MISSION: The Canterbury Historical Society’s mission is to preserve Canterbury’s heritage and sense of community. ARCHIVES: The Society’s archive room is custodian of a great diversity of historically valuable town-owned manuscript and photographic collections reflecting Canterbury history from the early 18th century to the present. These include the Luther Cody glass negative collection of over 640 images taken at the turn of the century, town organizations, deeds and a wide variety of other materials. These collections are available to researchers by appointment. Contact Bob Scarponi at 603 783-9594 or email scarp2@together.net.
