Have you ever lived, worked, or spent time in Boston’s West End? Do you have photos, letters, records, or objects that tell the story of the neighborhood before urban renewal, just after, or up through the present day? The West End Museum is eager to see what you’ve got at its West End Stories Scanning Party on June 10th from 4 to 7 PM.

The West End Museum’s Archivist and Curator, Bob Potenza, will be on hand to scan West End related photographs and documents. Scans and photos of attendees’ documents and objects will then be added to the Museum’s extensive archive collection. Those archives are often used by authors, reporters, researchers, and students seeking to understand the rich history and culture of Boston’s West End before and after urban renewal. They also strengthen the Museum’s exhibits, programming, and social media. The goal of the Scanning Party is to help digitize and preserve historical West End materials as well as make them accessible to community members.
