In an effort to make the history of our town more accessible, the Blackstone Library recently debuted our brand new digital archives powered by Omeka. We launched with only a small sampling of materials and today we're thrilled to announce that our online collection has grown again! You can now browse a new section of photographs from the 1938 Hurricane. These photos cover the neighborhoods of Indian Neck, Haycock Point, Summer Island, and Hotchkiss Grove.
