UMass Boston Archives,and the Friends participated in the "Boston Harbor Islands Mass. Memories Road Show" .  It was held on September 17, 2011 with 65 people sharing 185 images that are now part of public open archives at UMass Boston Archives.  These images can be viewed online by clicking on MEMORIES.    The image to the left is just one of the 100's of photos that were scanned and saved at the Road Show Event.  In addition video interviews/stories were recorded on the day as well.




Videos from the project can be found below.
