When and Where in the West End: Digital Community History Workshop

You know your neighborhood’s history, now is your chance to share it with the world! Join The West End Museum at the West End Branch Library for an interactive community history workshop. Learn to use the crowdsourced history database When and Where in Boston (whenandwhereinboston.org) to create pins on a digital map that tell the story of the who, what, when, and where in the West End's history. Share when your apartment was built, where a famous resident was born, or the details of a celebratory parade.

Learn how to research, format, and submit pins that will be reviewed by professional historians before being published online. Spend the evening at a citizen history party with your fellow history lovers, access library research sources, and ask for help from the library and Museum staff.

Bring your own laptop or tablet and prepare to become a contributor to local history!

This event is the official kick off WEM’s When and Where in Your Neighborhood series, which will visit Boston Public Library branches throughout the City of Boston to share this exciting new resource!
