Sudbury Town Records

Note: If you are searching for someone or something, you should begin your research on the Sudbury Historic Archives. If you want to see the original image, you can come back here.

Rosemary Harvell and the Town Clerk's Office proposed and received CPA funding to preserve the Town Records in the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. As part of that project the Town Records books were sent to NEDCC where they were "conserved" and also scanned.

These are scans of the records of Town Meetings and early Selectmen meetings. To the right is a thumbnail image of the early land allotment.

This is not the permanent location for the scanning results. When they are copied elsewhere, the pages will be redirected

I would like to see the images of the pages integrated into the Sudbury Archives

I have made the file names and directory structure more consistent.

If you would like .zip files of the individual image PDFs, let me know. If you are interested in making this site more useful, please let me know. -jch

Transcriptions

Sudbury Town Records, Volume One, December 20, 1639 – November 8, 1695, was transcribed and edited by Sumner Chilton Powell, Ph.D. (History Department, The Choate School, Wallingford, Connecticut), typed and collated in January 1965 by students of the Business Department of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. These were the basis on his book, Puritan Village. There is also a transcription of the transcription for Volume 1. This is a transcription of a transcription — it is not to be confused with the original record. with regularized spelling Page numbers here refer to pages of Powell's typescript, not to the original seventeenth-century manuscript volume.
In addition to the transcription there is also a Timeline and Index of Persons.

The provenance of the other transcripts is unknown at this time.
