Researching the History of Your House with the City of Cambridge
Join staff members from the Cambridge Historical Commission, the City of Cambridge Department of Public Works and the Cambridge Room at the Cambridge Public Library for a three-week series on researching the history of your house or building.
Registration is mandatory and space is limited; you do not have to attend all three sessions (though we highly recommend it!). For your convenience, each department will offer two days of the same session - one in the evening and one in the afternoon.
To register for a session, please contact the person listed. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Session 2: Cambridge Historical Commission
The Commission’s research collection is founded on an architectural inventory that contains survey forms, photographs, and documentation on all 13,000+ buildings in the City. Participants will learn how individual homes can be researched using these inventory files, as well as the Commission’s collection of city directories, atlases, maps, photographs, books on the City’s different neighborhoods, and some deed, tax, and building permit records.
