The mission of the North End Historical Society is to collect and preserve the historical record and material culture of Boston’s North End, to preserve, catalog, and present these resources in service of the wider community through publications, lectures, educational programs, and exhibits. The mission includes ongoing efforts to bring together scholars and individuals knowledgeable and interested in all aspects of the North End’s history.
Established in 2009, the North End Historical Society is a legally incorporated nonprofit organization in Massachusetts. We are currently in the process of applying to the IRS for tax exempt nonprofit status.
