Uncover Boston’s early records and the people who built them. This nonfiction work presents the first annual report of the City’s Record Commissioners, outlining their mission to complete and preserve vital records for Boston before 1849. It explains why these early records are incomplete and how careful copying and printed editions can make them accessible to all citizens.

In clear, practical terms, the report describes the duties of the commissioners, the sources they planned to use, and the reasons for publishing printed copies. It highlights early efforts to identify inhabitants and heads of families, drawing on directories from 1789 and 1796, along with tax lists and other papers found in city custody. The text also discusses how printed copies help protect fragile originals while serving researchers and interested residents.

What you’ll experience

A concise history of the Record Commissioners and their mandate in 1875–1876.

Discussion of the gaps in Boston’s early birth, marriage, and death records and the steps to fill them.

Descriptions of the sources used, including early directories, tax rolls, and state lists.

Notes on publishing printed editions to share findings with the public.

Ideal for readers of Boston history, genealogy researchers, and those curious about how a city preserves its past through official records and careful transcription. It offers context, purpose, and a snapshot of 19th‑century archival work that shaped later efforts to document Boston’s population.
