RIHPHC Publications

The Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission (RIHPHC) has produced 58 publications about each of the state's 39 towns and several historic neighborhoods, as well as for thematic studies. Although the publications are out-of-print, they remain invaluable resources for researchers, armchair explorers, and residents.

NOTE: As of July 2024, publication sales are on hold due to an ongoing construction project at the Old State House, . Until construction is complete, we encourage you to access the publications online (see below) or at your local public library. For more information, email Kelsey Mullen or call her at (401)222-4137.

Also, see RIHPHC's Heritage Pamphlets to learn about the experiences of several ethnic communities in Rhode Island.
