I wasn't expecting to find much online about the mental hospital but I was slightly amazed at the number and range of sites. These aren't all, but they're the most relevant and/or interesting. Enjoy.

General information and newspaper articles:

• GazetteNet : The Daily Hampshire Gazette's online news archive has many articles; just do a search for "state hospital" or "Northampton state hospital". I don't bother linking to specific articles anymore because there are too many and they keep changing their archive links.
• Northampton State Hospital : Great overview, lots of historical background and resources for further research.

Issues connected with the hospital:

• Future for the NSH : an article by Tiffany Brakefield suggesting possible uses for the site
• Northampton Hospital Reuse Plan : Another article with suggested uses for the site.
• NSH Burial Site Project : An effort to commemorate those patients who were buried on the grounds.

Defunct pages:

The links in this section will take you to the Internet Archive Project's listings for the site, since the site itself is no longer available.

• Save Old Main : Preservation campaign for the main building. The domain name is now up for grabs.
• Inside Grafton State Hospital is primarily about another abandoned mental hospital in western Massachusetts, but it also has some great interior shots of the NSH and some rooftop photos.
• Northampton State Hospital, by Asaph Murfin, includes pictures taken inside just before the Concert and other background info.

Personal pages / Other pages with photos:

• Anna Schuleit was the artist who arranged the concert of Bach's Magnificat. Her site does have a longish Flash intro.
• Opacity has some stunning photo galleries of the NSH and other abandoned buildings.
• Thedownwardspiral94 put together a photo montage, Leaving Hope, with pictures of several Kirkbride hospitals in Massachusetts.
• Some random person's pix
