The State Library of Massachusetts has a robust online resource documenting the development of transportation systems in Massachusetts during the 19th and 20th centuries. This site brings together information on canals, railroads, and highways and provides easy access to digitized state documents and other materials in its collection, such as maps, manuscripts, photographs, annual reports, and hearings.
Researchers interested in accessing the site and documents can do it through this link: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/mapping-massachusetts-digitzation-project-by-the-state-library.
This project was supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
