New England Beginnings
New England Beginnings, is a partnership to encourage and promote activities that commemorate the cultures that shaped early New England. The activities we are focused on are designed to 1) tell the stories of the region in the seventeenth century to a wide, general public audience and 2) enhance accessibility of resources for future scholarship in the field. Partnership is voluntary and does not
imply endorsement of member programs by the other members.
