It’s summer vacation, so why on earth am I uttering the word “school,” you ask? Well, because the State Library has a wonderful collection of Massachusetts primary school pamphlets in its collection! Most of these pamphlets are from the 19th century and describe graduation exercise programs and courses being offered throughout the school year (like your modern-day school handbook). Other information they offer include students and faculty members’ names, history and images of the school, and even tuition rates for private schools. Take a look in our online catalog to see what the library has in its collection: http://state.cwmars.org/eg/opac/home
