Cape Ann Museum is pleased to announce the appointment of Cassandra Anderson as Librarian and Archivist and Sarah Tripp as Assistant Librarian and Archivist.

Together, Anderson and Tripp will steward the Museum’s extensive Library and Archives, which have been available to researchers and the public since 1875. The Archives include manuscripts and printed materials that provide insight into the daily lives of Cape Ann residents, including letters, business records, cargo manifests, and other historic documents. The Museum’s collection also houses more than 15,000 historic photographs dating from the 19th century to present day.

Anderson graduated in 2022 from Simmons University’s dual master’s degree program in Library and Information Science, with a concentration in Archives and History. She has worked with several university archives, historical societies, and libraries as a consulting archivist and project manager. Her favorite archival materials to work with are letters and diaries, which offer intimate glimpses into everyday life throughout history. 

A lifelong Essex County resident, Tripp holds a bachelor’s degree in English and History from Merrimack College and a master’s degree in Library and Information Science from Simmons University, which she completed in 2025. She most recently served as a Reference Assistant at the Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex Museum. Tripp is deeply committed to making local history accessible and looks forward to collaborating with colleagues to share Cape Ann’s stories with the public.

“This is an exciting time to welcome Cassandra and Sarah to Cape Ann Museum as we prepare to reopen our Downtown Campus in June,” said Oliver Barker, Director of the Cape Ann Museum. “Their expertise will be invaluable as we expand access to our collections with a new Archival gallery Downtown, and continue the Museum’s mission of preserving and sharing Cape Ann’s rich history.”

The Museum’s Downtown Campus at 27 Pleasant Street is currently closed for renovations and will reopen on June 30, 2026, unveiling beautifully redesigned and upgraded gallery spaces dedicated to the Museum’s archival collections.
