The Foxfire Reports were a series of class assignments given to Jr. High and Sr. High
school students within the Hatfield public school system from 1982 until 2000. Each
student or pair of students researched and wrote about a topic relating to Hatfield,
Massachusetts. Most of the authors incorporated primary documents and personal
interviews into their reports. Both primary source materials and personal interviews have
been documented in this finding aid to assist researchers.
This collection documents a wide variety of topics of interest to scholars of Hatfield,
Massachusetts, agriculture in New England, and World War II. The interviews with
individuals in the People series offer a rich documentation on mid-20th century life in
New England, and the projects on the earliest families who settled Hatfield provide a
deeper historical context for the town.
Arrangement:
The files in this collection are organized into three series: People, Places, and Subjects.
The files within the People series are arranged alphabetically by last name, or by family
name if there are reports on multiple family members. Within the Place series, the files
are arranged alphabetically by location. The files within the Subject series include all
topics not covered by People or Place, including businesses, events, organizations, and
industries. The files are listed alphabetically; if multiple files with the same title exist,
they are listed chronologically.
