Mass Moments

Mass Moments, is an electronic almanac of Massachusetts History. Every day, users find a different story about events and people from three centuries of Massachusetts history.

Mass Moments makes splendid use of the Internet… each day’s Mass Moment provides material that sparks quests and questions. … This mix of history and technology reveals the great power that lies in remembering.— The Boston Globe, 2/28/05

Teachers use it to enhance the curriculum in history and social science, English and language arts, and other subjects. In addition to streaming audio and the text of the minute-long spot, every story on the website has a background essay, primary source document, image(s), and links to both virtual and “real” resources. An interactive timeline and map provides historical and geographic context, and a message board offers the opportunity for visitors to post comments, corrections, or questions.

You can sign up to receive Mass Moments daily via email. Follow daily Mass Moments on Facebook. Request Mass Moments cards to distribute or display.
