Congregational Library & Archives 
Open House 2024

Join us to celebrate the launch of our new online exhibition, Religion of Revolution: Congregational Voices on Liberty, with an in-person display of materials from Revolutionary America and a special performance by Norumbega Harmony.

Congregationalists interpreted liberty through their own religious framework, which included principles of autonomy, fellowship, and consensus. The exhibition highlights what Congregationalists had to say about liberty as documented in important printed works of the period as well as manuscript church records, letters, and sermon literature from the CLA’s collections and the New England’s Hidden Histories project.

Norumbega Harmony is one of the largest and most active groups of Sacred Harp and shape-note singers in New England. Its repertoire consists of music from the colonial and Revolutionary era of New England as well as music from the Sacred Harp and other American folk-hymn traditions.
