We use maps, geography, and history to understand the connection between people and places in Boston, New England, and beyond. @bplboston
From wagon trails to railroad networks, from tenement blocks to national portraits, maps offer a uniquely rich window into the many dimensions of migration.
This From The Vault program brings together nine maps made between 1846 and 1959 that track the movement of people at every scale, from the overland emigrant heading west to the immigrant neighborhood taking shape block by block. Their makers range from railroad companies and publishers to settlement house reformers and immigrant communities mapping themselves. Together they show that cartography has actively shaped who moves, who stays, and whose story gets told.
This showing is specially curated by our Geohumanities & GIS Assistant, Shaolong (Carlos) Yin!
This drop-in showing will be hosted Friday, May 22 from 2:00–4:00 pm in the Learning Center. No advance registration is required.
Can AI change the way we explore historic maps? Find out on May 18!
Join us for a free virtual talk with Dr. Katherine McDonough (Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities at Lancaster University) as she explores how machine vision technology is transforming the way librarians, historians, and AI researchers work with digitized map collections—drawing on examples from the US and UK.

BPL’s newest exhibition “Declarations: Printing a New Nation” opens today, Saturday, April 11!
For the first time ever, the Boston Public Library’s eight rare printings of the Declaration of Independence will be displayed together, inviting visitors to step into a moment when American independence, and the nation itself, was still taking shape.
Last night, the Boston Public Library Fund was thrilled to host the Opening Reception to thank the incredible Library staff who brought the exhibition to life and to recognize the supporters who made it possible. We were especially honored to welcome Mayor Michelle Wu to the celebration!
“Declarations” is presented in partnership between the @bplboston and the @bplmaps and made possible by the Irene Haney Creative Enrichment Fund through the @bplfund

250 years ago, in the summer of 1776, the Declaration of Independence wasn't a celebrated historical document—it was breaking news.
Our new exhibition, "Declarations: Printing a New Nation," opens to the public today in our gallery at the Central Library in Copley Square. This collaboration with BPL Special Collections brings together eight of the library's rare copies of the Declaration, as well as maps and other historical materials, to tell the story of how the news of independence made its way across North America during this era-defining moment. Admission is free.

Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
