Here is a site all may find interesting: dca.tufts.edu/features/bostonstreets Mentioned in the July 31 Boston Sunday Globe, section D4 ideas, this site is "built around an enormous compilation of photos, as well as old maps and city directories...from the Bostonian Society's archives....its focal point is its intricate "Cowpaths" tool which allows users to search for and assemble all this information in map form....users can trace individuals, or track the movement of families, ethnic groups, or even types of businesses from one neighborhood to another over time." This information goes back two centuries, but such search engines may well be in the future for more and more areas. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2005 7:03 AM Subject: WHITNEY-D Digest V05 #106
