DescAs the nation's first historical society, the MHS strives to enhance the understanding of our nation's past and its connection to the present, demonstrating that history is not just a series of events that happened to individuals long ago but is integral to the fabric of our daily lives. Its collections are accessible to anyone with an interest in American history. Beyond research, the MHS offers many ways for the public to enjoy its collections including engaging programs, thought-provoking exhibitions, publications, seminars, and teacher workshops.Program Highlights and Descriptions:Collections - The Society's extraordinary collections tell the story of America through millions of rare and unique documents, artifacts, and national treasures, including the personal papers of three presidents-John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. Through its research library, online resources, publications, exhibitions, and programs, the MHS makes its holdings accessible to anyone with an interest in the people and events that shaped our country. Paul Revere's handwritten account of his famous ride, Thomas Jefferson's and John Adams's manuscript copies of the Declaration of Independence, and Elbridge Gerry's annotated copy of the Constitution-these are among the many iconic American documents of the MHS. Spanning four centuries, the Society's collections-the letters, diaries, and other personal papers of individuals and families, as well as their books, photographs, maps, newspapers, artifacts, and works of art-have become essential primary sources for the study and understanding of American history. The library is free and open to researchers of all ages and levels of interest in our collections six days a week. The library does not lend materials, but any person interested in using the collections can register as a researcher and use materials in the library. In many cases selected materials can be reproduced and sent to individuals who cannot visit the library in person.EXHIBITIONS - THE SOCIETY'S EXHIBITIONS CELEBRATE THE PERSPECTIVE AMERICAN HISTORY BRINGS TO OUR OWN TIME AND ILLUSTRATE HOW IT SUSTAINS OUR REPUBLIC AND GUIDES OUR FUTURE. AS ONE OF THE REGION'S MAJOR VENUE FOR HISTORY PRESENTATIONS, THE MHS PRODUCES EXHIBITIONS THAT ARE THEMATIC, TELL STORIES, AND EXPLORE TURNING POINTS IN THE PAST. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR WAS THE TURNING POINTS EXHIBITION A PRESENTATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY WHICH EXAMINED FIFTEEN DECISIVE MOMENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY AS DESCRIBED IN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND PERSONAL RECORDS OR AS COMMEMORATED BY "DUMB WITNESSES"-ARTIFACTS FOUND IN THE SOCIETY'S ENORMOUS COLLECTIONS. THE SOCIETY ALSO DISPLAYED THE IRSIH ATLANTIC EXHIBITION WHICH EXPLORED 175 YEARS OF THE IRISH IN BOSTON FROM THE FOUNDING OF THE CHARITABLE IRISH SOCIETY IN 1737, THROUGH FAMINE RELIEF EFFORTS LED BY CAPT. ROBERT BENNET FORBES AT THE HELM OF THE JAMESTOWN, TO A MASS MIGRATION MOVEMENT, DECADES OF COMMUNITY AND INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING, AND A RISE IN POLITICAL POWER. Education and Public Programs - Continuing to develop a vibrant selection of public and education programs enables the MHS to enhance the understanding of our nation's past and its connection to the present, demonstrating that history is not just a series of events that happened to individuals long ago but is integral to the fabric of our daily lives. Where opinions vary, the MHS provides a forum for debate. Programming designed for a general audience attracted more than 2,600 attendees at 55 programs over the course of the year. The Society offered scholars and others who joined us for academic presentations a total of 85 programs-23 seminars in 5 series, 37 brown-bag lunches, and a reception at the start of the academic year to introduce the Society to graduate students. The MHS also offers an engaging array of programs and resources to K-12 teachers and students, including workshops, fellowship opportunities, curriculum resources, 57 such teacher programs and workshops took place this past year. Committed to using its unique resources to improve and support the teaching of American history in all K-12 classrooms, the MHS launched the Center for the Teaching of History at the Massachusetts Historical Society in January 2017. The Center promotes history and civics education and is among the nation's premier resource providers for educators. It supports innovative and best practices in teaching history through programs, web-based resources, fellowships, and its support of National History Day.Research - The Society strives to foster a research community that actively promotes the study of the history of Massachusetts and the nation. We offer an exceptional range of resources for making and sharing historical discoveries. Visitors can enjoy public talks, tours, exhibitions, scholarly seminars and conferences, and gain access to our unparalleled collections through our research library and our website. The MHS offers more than 30 research fellowships in four annual competitions, and provides support and assistance to more than 600 scholars every year. The MHS welcomes a wide variety of researchers-representing 35 countries and all 50 states-from high school students, to family historians, to professors and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. These researchers network, share their findings, and exchange ideas.Publications and Documentary Editing including the Adams Papers - The MHS began publishing books in 1792 and is one of the oldest, continually operating publishers in the United States, and makes available printed books, electronic publications, a newsletter, and scholarly journal. The MHS publishes works that provide information about and make available the content of some of its most significant collections and the people who created them. As part of its mission, the MHS maintains its own publishing program and hosts the offices of the Adams Papers Editorial Project. Founded in 1954, The Adams Papers project prepares a comprehensive published edition of the manuscripts written and received by the family of John Adams of Quincy, Massachusetts. The Adams Family Papers manuscript collection at the Massachusetts Historical Society forms the nucleus of the project. In addition, the editors have gathered over 27,000 copies of Adams items from hundreds of libraries, institutions, and individuals in the United States and abroad. The editors do not alter the Adamses' words; rather, they continue the search for Adams documents, select the material to be included in the edition, provide a faithful transcription of the manuscripts, and supply annotation. To date, over 50 volumes have been published by Harvard University Press and are now available online as part of the Adams Papers Digital Edition. The project's cut-off date is 1889, the year Abigail Brooks Adams died.Desc
