Content Statement

CPL Digital Collections aims to preserve and make available materials relating to the history of the City of Concord and CPL. The Library acknowledges that items in our collections could be considered offensive and inappropriate by modern standards. Historical records often contain language and imagery that includes harmful, stereotypical depictions of marginalized communities.

Materials held in Library collections do not constitute endorsement of the material's content or the views expressed. The Library serves customers with divergent views and interests, and the Library's collections inevitably contain information that some would find offensive or wrong. Our digitized collections have been retained in their original form to preserve the integrity of the historical record for research purposes. Materials that contain objectionable language or imagery may be flagged in a descriptive note.

if you have any questions or suggestions about items in our collection, we welcome feedback, as it is a work in progress.  Please contact us at library@concordnh.gov.
