Scituate Public Records Indices 1636-1936

Otherwise known as the WPA cards, these were created under the Works Progress Administration in the late 1930's as part of the American New Deal to give employment and boost the economy. One such project in Scituate was to index the town records from 1636 to 1936 in alphabetical order on cards.  Since then the cards have been scanned three to a sheet, and they reference the page and location of the original historical records here in the archives.
