University Archives and Special Collections in the Joseph P. Healey Library at UMass Boston collects materials related to the University’s history, as well as materials that reflect the university’s urban mission and strong support of community service, notably in collections of records of urban planning, social welfare, social action, alternative movements, community organizations and local history related to neighboring communities, including Dorchester and the Boston Harbor Islands.
We invite you to explore the many collections and resources available through our digital collections site and through postings of events, project information, and other departmental activities on Open Archives News.
