What can church records tell us about the everyday lives of early New Englanders? A surprising number of stories of love, loss, heartbreak, and revolution! New England’s Hidden Histories is a digital project of the Congregational Library & Archives in Boston which digitizes and transcribes historic church records, including relations of faith, sermons, diaries, and disciplinary records from communities across the region. This presentation will explore some of the exciting new stories being uncovered from this unparalleled collection of records.
