- Contribute to an oral history video project while you tell the story about your photos or documents – on camera
- Learn about preserving your pictures and documents
Come and share your story and become a part of the digital history of Massachusetts!
All scanned information will also become part of a statewide educational website called Mass. Memories Road Show: Your Place in Massachusetts History. The Mass. Memories Road Show is a project of University Archives & Special Collections at the University of Massachusetts Boston and of Mass Humanities. Your contributions will also inform the Boston Busing/Desegregation Project (BBDP) as it looks to understand the historical context of school desegregation.
