The State Library is in the midst of a large-scale photo cataloging project, and we’ve come across a handful of photographs so far that were not supplied with information that would help us describe them. So we need your help! We’re pretty sure these photographs were taken in the Boston area, or at least somewhere in Massachusetts, and we are hoping members of the public who are Boston urban history buffs can help us with a couple things: where the photo was taken (city/town, neighborhood, street); the time period in which the photo was taken; and what construction projects are being depicted.To view more scans of these images, please visit our Flickr site: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mastatelibrary/sets/72157691336689413
If you think you’ve cracked the mystery to one or all of the images, send what information you have to our Special Collections Department at special.collections@mass.gov.
