The Waban History Project
has been rejuvenated with a new focus. At present, we plan to publish a book (in both print and online formats) that will update the first work of Waban history, Waban, Early Days. As such, we are now soliciting manuscripts (handwritten, typewritten, sent via email or in virtually any other format) of personal memoirs of Waban life and times. We are particularly interested in the years 1920 to 1960. Please send along any memories to, the Waban oral history published in the late 1940's. We are looking to interview long-time Waban residents to discuss their early remembrances of Waban. If you would like to participate, please contact: Lauren Paul 617-559-9967
