Who should I contact? I have been waiting a long time to do research at the Phillips Museum. Years ago when I wanted to do research I was told that you had to be a professional researcher to do research at this library. I was told that a resident Salem, had tried to view her family papers and had to bring State Police in with her in order to do so. <br />Now I have waited patiently to go and do my research to hear this! Please advise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989811206337367311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603038967680379873.post-67912592423616041012017-12-15T17:52:38.370-05:002017-12-15T17:52:38.370-05:00Very tragic, indeed.

The Phillips Library imbroglio is a culmination of a process that began with the Essex Institute-Peabody Museum merger.
