The Barrington Preservation Society is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization engaged in exploring, preserving, and interpreting the history of the Town of Barrington, Rhode Island. Under the auspices of the Town, the BPS operates the Town Museum, (located on the lower level of the Barrington Public Library), which contains and organizes its growing collection of artifacts and documents related to the Town’s history. The BPS also runs a historic Plaque Program for buildings over 100 years in age, presents lectures, publishes newsletters, and conducts other educational activities that benefit its members, local schools, and the general public. And it serves as a resource for researchers and others interested in local history from around the state and the country. New volunteers with expertise in historical research and writing, cataloguing, publication preparation, and IT, among other things, are always welcome, as are people without such expertise but who want to learn about Barrington’s history and acquire new skills.
