Located in West Roxbury, MA, the Office of City Clerk Archives and Records Management Division is the repository for all official records that must be kept to honor both the history of the municipal government in Boston and the legal rights of its citizens.
Although Boston is nearly 400 years old, the City Archives was not established by State Law until 1988[1].
Collections
The City Archives holds records for over 60 current and historic government entities and departments. The bulk of these records consist of documentation of the history of Boston since incorporation as a city in 1822, although some records go back to the early 1600s.
