The Webster Digital Archive is still growing, but it already contains thousands of photos, the older out of copyright history books, and many of the Town of Webster records.
Follow the links below to see items in the Archive on Google Drive. There are two public areas: Artifacts and Town of Webster. Just explore the various areas or search for a name or event. Most files contain metadata that add context to the photo, but you will need to download the file to a PC to view the metadata. The books are in PDF format, and the larger ones in particular may have to be downloaded to be viewed.
- Artifacts (Oral Histories, Photographs, Books, Maps)
- Town of Webster Annual Reports and Town Hall Minutes
- For Society Business documents, see the Members Only page.
- For Trustee documents, see the Trustees Only page.
There is an entire website dedicated to genealogy. https://webster-nh.net
You should be able to view anything in the top-level Artifacts folder and sub-folders, as well as the top-level Town of Webster folder and sub-folders. Google Drive has a good search engine. If you have problems, please use the Contact Us form on this website.

Photographs and Diaries Do you have old photographs or diaries about Webster?
The Society is primarily interested in photos at least 30 years old, but may accept any photos of Webster people, places or events. The Historical Society will scan them, preserve them in our digital archive, and share them on our website. You will retain the copyright to them, and your original photos will be returned to you along with a USB-drive of your photos. (We retain the right to refuse to accept or scan your items.)
