Stephen Phillips Memorial Library

The Stephen Phillips Memorial Library library serves as the museum's research center, providing access to books, manuscripts, photographs, nautical charts, maps, and boat plans. In addition to our strong collections in maritime history, with an emphasis on mid-coast Maine, we also have important collections in Maine history and genealogy.

The library is at 9 Church Street, Searsport. The library does not lend materials: all research is conducted in the reading room, which is handicapped-accessible.

To check the Phillips Library's catalogued holdings, you may search the SOLAR Catalog database. We are one of two libraries in the database from Waldo County.

All inquiries should be directed to Collections Manager Cipperly Good: email cgood@pmm-maine.org or 207-548-2529 ext.212
