HD 1170 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to preserving information content of historic resources with community preservation funds

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly include "digitization of documents considered historic resources" in the definition of "Preservation" under community preservation funds. It allows local communities to use these funds for converting historic documents into digital formats to preserve their information content. This directly affects municipalities and organizations managing historic resources that receive community preservation funding. The key change expands eligible uses of these funds to cover digital preservation methods, ensuring historical information remains accessible.
