UMass Boston was founded in 1964, which means that the University’s 50th anniversary approaches in 2014. In preparation for the anniversary year, the University Archives is coordinating a project to collect memories, photographs and other materials that document our first 50 years.
Please consider contributing your memories from Park Square, Boston State College and Columbia Point. For more information, or to contribute a text essay describing your experience, email library.archives@umb.edu. Stay tuned for links to contribute audio and video memories as well.
UMass Boston’s University Archives & Special Collections (UASC) collects materials that document the University’s history, and that reflect urban mission and strong support of community service, notably in collections of records of urban planning, social action, alternative movements, community organizations, and local history related to neighboring communities, including extensive collections associated with Dorchester and with the Boston Harbor Islands.
