Run under the aegis of the Bostonian Society, the Boston History Library includes a vast array of textual and visual material, with over seven thousand books, thirty thousand photographs, two thousand architectural drawings, four hundred maps, and a large collection of manuscript materials. The collections have been gathered to reflect the culture and history of Boston through chronicling aspects of the city’s ethnic groups, neighbourhoods, social classes, and the political, social and economic forces that have shaped Boston.
