Salem Links & Lore is a collection of information about Salem, Massachusetts gathered by the staff of the Salem Public Library. It began many years ago as a file of index cards in the Reference Room used to help answer questions about the city. All of this information has been entered into an online format that can be easily searched by keyword or browsed by subject list. This collection of information will continue to grow as we add new entries.

What kind of information does it have?

The entries in Salem Links & Lore cover people, places and events with some connection to Salem. Frequently asked questions, difficult to research questions and many just plain interesting facts are included. At the end of each entry you will find the source of the information as well as useful books and websites for more in depth research.
