Hello,
As a reearch assistant at U Mass Boston, I'm working on a project studying the history of a numnber of towns around Boston, from the 1830s to present - looking at immigration, population, transportation networks, and economic development.  Presently we are at the stage of surveying the amount of material available from town historical societies and libraries.  Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.  Thanks for your time,
