1836-02-19, Massachusetts Historical Society. Petition
|
|
Senate No. 75 On February 19, 1836, a committee of the Massachusetts Historical Society submitted a petition: The Society was incorporated in 1794
and has been collecting books and papers ever since. The archives in the State House are in great disarray, and the Secretary of State has too much
to do to spend time with the papers. Could the Legislature arrange for the material to be put in chronological order, bound in volumes of a
convenient size, and to print a selection of the most valuable items? (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State
Library).
