Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen T Riley

Jordan Rich fills in on NightSide with Dan Rea:Boston was a vital part of the social, economic, and political foundation of the British colonies and served as the center of trade and commerce. The passing of The Intolerable Acts by British Parliament to regulate trade was met with opposition from merchants and the colonies and prompted protests, revolts, riots, and acts of rebellion in Boston that eventually led to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Jordan welcomes Peter Drummey, Chief Historian and Stephen T. Riley Librarian with the Massachusetts Historical Society, to discuss the United States War of Independence.

Peter Drummey, Chief Historian and Stephen T. Riley Librarian for the Massachusetts Historical Society joins me to discuss the historical significance of Thomas Crown’s home at 85 Mount Vernon Street in Boston’s affluent neighbourhood of Beacon Hill.

In this third episode of our “Doing History: How Historians Work” series, we investigate how archives work with Peter Drummey, an archivist and the Stephen T. Riley Librarian at the Massachusetts Historical Society.   Doing History Series This episode is part of the "Doing History: How Historians Work" series.  “Doing History” episodes will introduce you to historians who will tell you what they know about the past and reveal how they came to their knowledge.
