In June of 2013 Jack Hauck, a retired journalist, gave his local writings to the town of Wenham, the Hamilton-Wenham Library and the Wenham Museum, in thanks for the help these organizations provided in accessing historical documents. Treasures of Wenham History exists as a set of digital documents consisting of 33 chapters, amounting to over 900 pages.  Hauck is still writing two final chapters, which he will forward when they are finished.

He is also the author of Treasures of Hamilton History.
