The West End Museum-Archives

Archives

The primary purpose of the West End Museum is to operate and maintain a neighborhood museum dedicated to the collection, preservation and interpretation of the history and culture of the West End of Boston. The Museum acknowledges its role as an educational institution and a trustee of significant material culture.

It involves the public in its mission through outreach programming, neighborhood events, and educational programming in the school systems, thereby increasing and sustaining the public's appreciation of an important American urban neighborhood from the seventeenth century to the present time.

The West End Museum has an extensive collection of archival materials: photographs, videos, newspaper articles, documents, etc. and provides access to its collections for research of the West End Neighborhood to those interested in its history and culture.

Currently the archives are being cataloged and digitized; much has already been done. If you have a specific area of interest or research, email or phone the executive director.
