First, welcome to the Boston History Blog: an online space
dedicated to historical events, tours, reviews, and original articles
pertaining to the Boston
Why do this? I've found that there isn't one good source for
Boston-area history that is regularly updated. While individual sites like the
JFK Library, the USS Constitution Museum, and many others do an excellent job
of providing content and event details on their specific sites, it's hard to
get all the listings together. Additionally, sites like The Freedom Trail and
Boston1775.net are full of great stuff, but limited to specific eras in
history. My object is not to replace these sites, but instead to have an
aggregate of all the great historical stuff in one place.
This site will provide weekly lists of upcoming events,
announcements and reviews of them, book reviews, articles on an array of
different historical topics ranging from colonial Boston
to the modern day, and guest posts from movers and shakers in Boston
I look forward to providing useful information to history
enthusiasts in the community, and I'd love to hear from you. If you have any
article or book review ideas, would like events in the area on our lists, or
have any general events or feedback, please email me!
Best,
Matt Wilding
