The Atheneum’s Historic Newspaper Database will be updated with “Nantucket Mirror” pages. In the next two days, If you have book-marked pages using their URL from your account with the database, those URLs will be changing as we relabel the pages. If you have bookmarks you need to have on hand, we recommend copying the links to an outside document to keep safe.

“I have had the fortunate opportunity to be a Trustee of the Atheneum for the last 9 years, how lucky am I? When I drive into town every morning, I always marvel at how majestic our beautiful building is in the center of town, watching over the comings and goings of so many residents and visitors.
I love the Atheneum because it represents all the good Nantucket has to offer. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or how you arrived, the Atheneum is a place for all to either access the world through the internet, take a load off your feet and read a periodical or come expand your mind with the numerous creative programs taking place. Basically, it’s my favorite place to be!”
