Westborough in the 1950's Project Background
The Westborough History Working Group at the Westborough Public Library is teaming up with Westborough TV to create programming and an eventual film on Westborough in the 1950’s, and we need your help. Over the next few months, we will be gathering from the Westborough community photographs, memories, images of ephemera, and other information about what it was like to live in Westborough during this formative decade.

As part of this information gathering, we are asking people to submit their memories about life in the 1950's--whether you lived in Westborough during this time or not. If you were not alive during the 1950's or were too young to remember, then perhaps you can use this question to interview someone who did, do some research to try to answer the question a different way, or talk about your own experience in today's context.

We will be posting more questions and other activities relating to this project in the upcoming weeks.
