Here are some items that might be interesting for people researching in Boston, Massachusetts. I'm not including the New England Historic Genealogical Society -- but please check them out, too! The Tufts University Digital Archive has created digital versions of several Boston City Directories: http://bcd.lib.tufts.edu/ Worth poking around this site. Search engine is clumsy at best (sigh) and almost everything seems to be alphabetical, very comprehensively alphabetical! The City of Boston has info on genealogical information in its archives at: http://www.cityofboston.gov/archivesandrecords/genealogical.asp At the Boston Public Library genealogical info is under the Social Sciences Department. Start at: http://bpl.org/research/socsci/index.htm You can search the BPL site for genealogical stuff from this page: http://bpl.org/electronic/biography.asp. Hmm, seems to require a Boston Library card number. Area residents can, I believe, get a temporary one online... -- -- --- Richard Danca Newton, MA rdanca@gmail.com ------
