The BH&PS staff will conduct research on behalf of researchers who are unable to travel to Bristol in person.

Research will be completed after payment has been received. Please note that the BH&PS is not obliged to undertake inquiries that require excessive time or cost to the institution.

Drawing from the George Howe Diary, The BH&PS Collection
As of December 2015, Fire, Burglar and Security systems at the BHPS are fully installed due to the receipt of a generous $15,000 matching grant from The 1772 Foundation. The BHPS has motion alarms and security cameras throughout the building, has a secured entry alarm system and a fire alarm system that is directly linked to the Town of Bristol Fire Department. As part of its 2015 Matching Grants for Historic Preservation made available to organizations in Connecticut, New Jersey and Rhode Island, The 1772 Foundation Grant has enabled the Society to protect its unique research library, its extensive paper document room, the significant portrait collection, and all of the other artifacts throughout the building.
