The fluidity of these Massachusetts’ towns as depicted in this compilation of libraries, antiquarians, historical societies, museums and arts is a reflection. One could easily be the other since no genotype stands out were it not for the minutiae details rendering a DNA for their individual identity, all the while blending easily into the next leaving such structures as the embodiment for having existed. Perhaps one day there can be a newsletter similarly to those of Slightly Foxed in Hoxton Square London, England. Channeling as they’ve done so well, of lesser known authors/artists who during their lifetime were not known or appreciated for their arts and knowledge except after their passing and thus a focus is brought about of their written works and put under the magnifying glass to be examined, cherished even for all they’d left behind. Documentation; in prints, written in journals, drawings, painted or such medias—a canon, opus of who they were. This is what histories are made of –an account, that hap-stance in the genre sought out on the shelves of the many libraries in the world. Yet, it is some of the members of any given community that dictate what’s to be housed at places where records are kept.
