Boston Public Library Public Art Photograph Collection

These photos were taken by photographers employed by the Boston Public Library during the summer of 2020, as part of a project to document public spaces in several Boston neighborhoods during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These photos depict murals, sculptures, commemorative plaques, painted electrical boxes, and other works of public art in Roxbury, Dorchester, the South End, and surrounding areas. The collection was donated to Northeastern University by the Boston Public Library.
