Excerpt from A Guide to Massachusetts Local History: Being a Bibliographic Index to the Literature of the Towns, Cities and Counties of the State, Including Books, Pamphlets, Articles in Periodicals and Collected Works, Books in Preparation, Historical Manuscripts, Newspaper Clippings, Etc Furthermore, we deal only with the Massachusetts of today, though each one of the neighboring states contains territory once claimed and administered by Massachusetts. The writer disclaims any purpose of defending the limitations set above: a decision was necessary and it was made, in some cases after a large amount of notes had been collected on material it was later decided to exclude. Nor can it be claimed that the above limitations have always been followed with: consistency, especially where the works have been only reported and not seen.

Archival collections at public libraries present their own challenges distinct from other library materials, but they also offer the promise of unique connections between the library and its users, particularly when the archives relate to local history.
