Genealogical Resources at the Boston City Archives

The Boston City Archives contains many freely available resources for genealogists, including student, school, real estate, taxation, voting, and naturalization records as well as a trove of information on city buildings, streets, photographs, atlases, and more. Marta Crilly, Archivist for Reference and Outreach at the Boston City Archives, highlights which of the Archives’ many resources are available online and explores how the organization regularly uses crowdsourcing to add information to its collections. Crilly holds an MA in History and an MS in Library Science.
