The History Preservation Project Web site is made possible by a generous donation from the Ken Weiss Schwab Charitable Fund in honor of Teresa F. Weiss and in memory of Charles R. Weiss, private donations from the community, countless volunteer hours, and the support of the Friends of the Heritage Museum and the Provincetown Visitor Services Bureau.

Our mission is to preserve, protect and provide greater access to documents concerning the history of Provincetown through digitization. The ongoing goal of the project is to assess and digitize documents in the town's care to create greater access to valuable and significant historical information and to ensure that important documents related to Provincetown's history will be preserved for informational and research purposes today and in the future.

To begin your exploration of items in the town's archives, you can either search for a particular term or phrase, or you can browse by collection, format or subject category.
