The Bible Society of Salem and Vicinity records document the activities of this Salem, Massachusetts, organization. The collection contains two records books, containing the notes from both the annual meetings of the society and the quarterly meetings of the trustees; an account book, detailing the financial transactions during each year of the society's existence; financial reports; personal correspondence to the society; and transactions regarding the absorption of the Bible Society of Salem and Vicinity by the American Bible Society.

Of particular interest in the record books is an address given by the society to the general public of Salem, stating the purpose of the society, its affiliation with the Massachusetts and American Bible Societies, and an appeal to the public for financial support. The last will and testament of Daniel Lang, a substantial donor to the Bible Society of Salem and Vicinity, is also mentioned in volume 2 of the record books.
