State Library of Massachusetts - Special Collections Department Ms. Coll. 141 Paul Demakis Papers, 1989-2004: Guide COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Demakis, Paul. Call Number: Ms. Coll. 141 Extent: 23 boxes (22.5 linear feet) Preferred Citation Style: Folder Title, Box Number #. Paul Demakis Papers. State Library of Massachusetts Special Collections. About This Finding Aid: Description based on DACS. Processed by: Finding aid prepared by Katie Chase, January, 2009; updated by Abigail Cramer, October, 2012. Provenance: Donated by Paul Demakis, January 4, 2005. Abstract: This collection documents Demakis’s career as a Massachusetts Representative from the 8th Suffolk District. SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection documents Paul Demakis’s years as a state representative in the Massachusetts General Court. Some of the major topics covered in the subject and legislative files are abortion rights (particularly buffer zones around abortion clinics), Massachusetts Turnpike air rights, and domestic partnership. The case files and neighborhood files (especially Back Bay) often concern issues relating to neighborhood life: parking, traffic, trash cleanup, relations between residents and businesses, and conflicts between residents. State Library of Massachusetts – Special Collections Department Guide to Ms. Coll. 141 - Paul Demakis Papers Page 1 of 73 In this guide to the collection, “case files” refer to both interactions with constituents who asked for help on various issues and constituent correspondence regarding legislation. They usually include a copy of Demakis’ outgoing correspondence and the incoming correspondence or phone message that triggered the action. For the majority of the case files, a brief description of the topic has been included in the folder title listing. If there is no topic noted, either the topic was difficult to discern or more than one topic is covered in the file. Case files marked “office hours” usually contain just a letter from Demakis thanking the subject for attending his neighborhood office hours. Legislative files also contain constituent correspondence. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Paul C. Demakis was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1953. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Harvard College in 1975 and his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1978. Before becoming a state Representative, Demakis was a member of the Democratic Committee for Ward 5 (Boston), General Counsel for the Executive Office of Transportation and Construction from 1983 to 1984, and tax counsel for the Appellate Tax Board (1984-1986 and 1993-1994) and a member from 1986 to 1993. Demakis represented the 8th Suffolk District as a Democrat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1995 to 2004. In 2003, the boundaries of the 8th Suffolk District changed to include portions of Cambridge including the MIT area, Cambridgeport, and East Cambridge. Demakis was on the Transportation, Government Relations, Judiciary, Local Affairs, Public Service, and Housing and Urban Development Committees. His legislative priorities were abortion rights and buffer zones for abortion clinics, Massachusetts Turnpike air rights, and domestic partnership. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Arrangement The collection remains in the order in which it was received by the State Library. The arrangement and folder labeling are somewhat inconsistent. There are several alphabetical runs of mixed legislative and subject material that overlap in time frame and alphabetical range. It is possible that these different arrangements were stored in different parts of the legislative office by different staff members. The most effective way to search for a particular topic in the collection will be to conduct a keyword search of the entire finding aid since files for one topic may reside in many different physical locations. State Library of Massachusetts – Special Collections Department Guide to Ms. Coll. 141 - Paul Demakis Papers Page 2 of 73 Conditions Governing Access This collection is open for research during the Special Collections Department’s regular hours.

I believe that many problems in the public realm can be solved by the focused attention and hard work of capable, well-intentioned people working together. The potential for the state Commission on the Status of Women to have a positive impact in Massachusetts is enormous. I would be honored to work as a member on the issues and problems that affect all of us.” ~ Elaine F. Guiney 1946 - 2004 This annual report of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) is dedicated to former Commissioner Elaine F. Guiney, who succumbed to an all too short battle with cancer on February 20th. Her passion for our mission, vision, guidance and involvement will be forever missed. Elaine wrote the quote above in her request for appointment to the MCSW by the Massachusetts Women’s Legislative Caucus. Elaine wanted to be appointed to enhance economic opportunities for women. She knew that in order to guarantee economic self-sufficiency for women, all opportunities needed to be available to them, including non-traditional jobs and self-employment. She knew that dealing with economic issues was key to improving the lives of women living within Massachusetts.

    BSRA Entertainment Report for February 6, 2016 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for February 6, 2016 February 6, 2016. RollSign Archives. The RollSign Magazine archives hold over a century of unique Boston transit images, including many rarely seen views from RollSign Magazine through the years. Editor Nick Tomkavage presented a collection of images that have never been published, or were published decades ago. He started the presentation of RollSign archives with a note about photo crediting, as he made every effort to attribute photos to the proper people, and asked the audience for corrections in case of the proper attribution not being found in the archives The show began with a photo of Commonwealth Avenue and Chestnut Hill Avenue, with a 3 car train of Center Entrance cars #_ posing for a photo. These cars arrived in 1919 -1920 and were retired in 1946 - 1947; the photo is from after the fender guards were gone, approximately a year after arrival, but before 1926, when window guards were removed to keep children from using them as handholds to steal free rides. The original line from Lake Street into the subway went from Lake Street to Cleveland Circle to Washington Street to Huntington Avenue and then into the subway. The Commonwealth Avenue line was laid down in 1900, and as an early example of transit-oriented development, this was the driving element for the large scale development seen on Commonwealth Avenue today. These cars (#_?) were posed in a similar position as in the next photo, which showed them running on a Commonwealth short turn at Chestnut Hill Avenue in the 1930s -- Lake Street could not handle all of the Commonwealth Avenue service by itself, so the short-turn cars ran empty from Chestnut Hill Avenue to Reservoir to turn The next photo was in 1970 on Chestnut Hill Avenue of the Center Entrance Cars' replacement, the Wartime PCCs (#_ shown).
