You know Jamaica Plain’s history, now learn how to share it with the world! Join The West End Museum (WEM) at the Connolly Branch of the Boston Public Library for an interactive community history workshop. Learn to use the crowdsourced history database When and Where in Boston to create pins on a digital map that tell the story of the who, what, when, and where in Jamaica Plain's history. Share the details of what makes JP such a unique place to live.
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 (or check one at the Branch) and prepare to become a contributor to local history!
This event is part of the 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! This event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be provided.
You can attend in person (if you want to participate in the hands on support) or you can view the event on Zoom as well. Please register with this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-bsXn4JiSfKm5_eZQS0pdg
