Have you ever served on a Board or Committee for the Town of Lexington? If so, do you have any of your committee’s paperwork stored at home? The Lexington Town Clerk’s Office would like to add your important town documents to the Town Archives.
“In the past, the Town Boards and Committees did not have the staff support they now have and members often had to keep important records at home” said Town Clerk Nadie Rice.
“Current Records Retention laws require all minutes and many reports to be retained in perpetuity, and we now have top-notch storage facilities and processes to be able to do so. Important public records are scanned and become available on our online records portal,” she added.
Meeting minutes and financial records are of particular interest.
If you have served as a Town committee chair or member, your work is an important part of Lexington’s history. We want to preserve that history in our Archives!
To make arrangements for transferring documents to the Archives, please call the Town Clerk’s office at 781-698-4558 or send an email to
clerk@lexingtonma.gov. The Town’s Archivist, Lee Yates, can be reached directly at 781-698-4556 or at
lyates@lexingtonma.gov.
