The Frances W. Peabody Library was started by
Landmarks' Advisory Service, a volunteer group which offers
technical advice on historic buildings. The collection was initially
organized around the pooled specialized source material of the
Advisory Service members. In 1983, the library was dedicated as the
Frances W. Peabody Research library named for one of the most
hardworking, generous and knowledgeable members of GPL. She was a
great supporter of the library until her death in 2001. Thanks to
gifts from generous donors and to carefully selected purchases, the
library has grown over the years to become the most extensive
preservation collection north of Boston. We hope that you will visit
the library soon.
