The “Bio Worksheet” was developed at UMass Boston to organize and document the research being undertaken on each of the more than 1,100 men who participated in the 1919 Boston Police Strike. Below are some files that students, genealogists and teachers can use to familiarize themselves with the biographical worksheet.
Those interested in understanding the worksheet are invited to download and fill in a “blank” worksheet, and then compare their work with the 3 versions that match the levels of quality control in this project, i.e. the “Started”, “Revised” and “Final” versions.
The Bio Worksheet may be used and adapted for non-commercial purposes with attribution according to the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA license.
