Documents & Engravings about the Boston Massacre
Anne E. Bentley of the Massachusetts Historical Society writes:

It is interesting to read the words of people who were either at the scene or were able to comment on the overall atmosphere of the town after theevent. Thanks to funding from the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati, the MHS has created a new web presentation, Perspectives on the BostonMassacre, featuring letters, pamphlets, diary entries, legal notes, and engravings relating to the Boston Massacre.

Some examples of the manuscripts that are available for browsing and reading include diary entries written by merchant John Rowe who observed,"the Inhabitants are greatly enraged and not without Reason" and a letter dated 6 March 1770 by Loyalist Andrew Oliver, Jr. who wrote,"Terrible as well as strange things have happen'd in this Town." The website also includes printed materials; some convey the Patriotperspective of the event (A Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre in Boston and On the Trial of the Inhuman Murderers) and some the Loyalist view (AFair Account of the Late Unhappy Disturbance at Boston).

One section of the new web presentation focuses on visual representations of the Boston Massacre. Seven prints of the event, as well as onepainting showing the same location in Boston in 1801, are available for close examination. Website visitors can use a comparison tool to view any twoof the featured images side by side.
