Natick Library to Receive $30,000 from State

The state budget will bring $30,000 to Natick's Morse Institute Library to fund a veterans oral history project.
“These are important projects in Natick and Millis and I am pleased to see the funding included in the final budget,” said Representative David Linsky (D-Natick) who also secured $95,000 for two Millis projects.

According to a release from Linsky's office, the Veterans Oral History project is a collection of taped interviews of men and women who served in the military from World War I to the present.  The collection, housed at the Morse Institute Library in Natick, now includes over 160 taped interviews, done not only to preserve the veterans' histories as an important archive in Natick’s local history room, but also to make the videotapes available to the public as part of a circulating collection.

The budget still needs to go to the governor for approval.
