The New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz (NHLTJ) was established in 1978 by Dorothy Prescott, a long-time supporter of traditional jazz music in New England.

The library's mission is to preserve the history of and foster the appreciation and future of traditional jazz music as an original American art form.

The NHLTJ promotes jazz in three major ways:

1. It maintains archives comprising thousands of recordings, hundreds of jazz-related books and periodicals, photographs, videotapes, and archival material that document the New England jazz scene after World War II.
2. It supports jazz events in the New Hampshire Seacoast, including the annual Tommy Gallant Scholarship Concert and the Tommy Gallant Seacoast Jazz Festival.
3. It co-produces with the UNH Music Department the Traditional Jazz Series, an annual series of on-campus jazz concerts now in its 29th year.
