It holds the public civic record of Boston, Massachusetts — its places, people, organizations, events, works, and objects; the documents and datasets that attest them; and the grey record of what people say about the city that no authority ever wrote down. Every record carries a stable identifier, a canonical address, a full provenance chain, and its version history. Every record resolves as a page for a person and as JSON for a machine.","email":"archive@boston.fyi","founder":{"@type":"Person","name":"LeMay Inc."},"foundingDate":"2026","name":"The Boston
