JPHS Archives
In 2015, the Jamaica Plain Historical Society Archives were moved to the Healey Library, 5th floor at The University of Massachusetts Boston to become part of their Archives and Special Collections. The JPHS Archives are open to the public. Please use the Finding Aid to see what is housed in the JPHS Archives. The collection includes letters, photographs, maps, organizational records, diaries, audiotapes, books and videotapes.
The University of Massachusetts Boston also holds several other collections related to Jamaica Plain history. These collections include:
Jamaica Plain Historical Society Records

Some of the materials described in the Finding Aids are available online; and links to these are included in the Finding Aid. In other cases, particular records of interest may be scanned and sent to a researcher for a fee.
