Regional Office Reports

New England is a region rich in cultural institutions. This wealth presents the New England office of the Archives with difficult choices: with which library, museum, or society are we to collaborate on microfilming projects when each one has its own distinctive appeal? Having started in 1971-1972 with the splendid correspondence in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, we decided next to microfilm the administrative records of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the largest art institution in the region. At first it seemed an insurmountable task. Except for records vital to the museum's operation in the 1970s, most of the documents had been stored-with a vengeance-in rat-proof crates in the basement, in attic crawl spaces, and in other equally inaccessible places. Thanks to the amazing memory of the building superintendent, Mr. Jack Morrison, we were able to locate all the desired material. Once underway, the museum generously obliged our needs. Space and filing supplies were provided for the preparation of tens of thousands of letters and bulky ledgers for microfilming. From the Ladies Committee of the museum came volunteers to augment our own small team. By May 1973, all the 19th-century records were ready for the cameraman. Working to taped music, he photographed some 40,000 documents in three weeks. Our staff and the volunteers next tackled the museum's 20th-century records.
