STOP BY AND CELEBRATE MASS. MEMORIES ROAD SHOW REVISITED and learn about Wayland’s huge town-wide digital photo album and scrapbook Sunday April 12, 2-4:30 pm at the Grout Heard House Museum.
Come celebrate Wayland residents of all generations, races and backgrounds – old timers or new arrivals. Meet participants from last year’s Wayland 375 Mass. Memories Road Show event at the Middle School. Residents who shared family photos and memories for the MMRS digital archive will gather again to talk about their contributions and the stories behind them. Visitors can watch videos about last year’s event and view the 375 images collected last year. Julie Secord and others are providing a wonderful community quilt cake and other refreshments for all visitors.
Anyone who participated last year and anyone interested in local history must come to this! For more more information about this program go to www.waylandhistoricalsociety.org / 508-358-7959 or pambonaguide@comcast.net / 508-308-3741
About the Mass. Memories Road Show Project The Mass. Memories Road Show (MMRS) at UMass Boston is an event-based public history project that digitizes family photos and memories shared by the people of Massachusetts. We do this by working with local communities to organize free public events where residents are invited to bring up to three family photos to be scanned and included in the MMRS digital archive. The goal of the MMRS is to visit all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts holding public events to digitize family photos and memories. To date, the project has digitized more than 4,000 photos and stories from across the state, creating an educational resource of primary sources for future generations.
