Exhibition on Massachusetts Stone Bridges



New Exhibition at the State Library of Massachusetts

The State Library of Massachusetts has installed a new exhibition documenting the work of the Massachusetts Stone Bridges Historic Research Project. This project was implemented by the Massachusetts Highway Department in 1998 in an effort to augment the department's files on more than 200 stone bridges under its purview. A researcher for the project spent four years examining a variety of primary and secondary sources--including maps, atlases, newspapers, directories, legislation, and town reports--in libraries and town offices across the state. Many of these materials are in the collections of the State Library and are on display in the exhibition. The exhibition was assembled with assistance from the Massachusetts Highway Department. 

The small exhibition is located outside the George Fingold Library, Room 341, in the Massachusetts State House. A more detailed description of the exhibition will be available online at www.state.ma.us/lib <http://www.state.ma.us/lib>.
