The Boston Archive Articles and Memorabilia Preserved on CDROM

For some time now, I have been collecting and scanning every magazine or newspaper article on Boston as well as any miscellaneous photos or bootleg album cover artwork. Every scan is high resolution (usually 200dpi). The exceptions are the posters which are scanned at around 75dpi.

To contribute an article, please e-mail me at dphirschler@hotmail.com. Thanks to everybody who have already contributed to this archive. The archive is that much more complete and enjoyable for all Boston fans because of your generousity. All contributors get a copy of the archive on CD as well as their originals back.

Below is the current listing of the Archive.

There is at least one more section that I still need to add to this page. It is a section that lists all the miscellaneous material that doesn't really fit into the other categories. Please be patient as this page is being developed.
