Historians, researchers, and genealogists alike, owe the Perkins family a great deal for allowing Historic Map Works and its members access to this one of a kind New England treasure. A few of the thousands of images from their collection are randomly displayed below.

If you would like to learn more about the history of The Perkins Collection, the methods used to survey lands at the turn of the century, or the family responsible for four generations of cartography in Massachusetts, we encourage you to visit the website of the family's survey firm Dana F. Perkins, Inc.

Located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Dana F. Perkins, Inc. is one of the oldest continuously owned land surveying companies in the nation. Its unparalleled archive of New England land use and survey maps was started in 1882 and continues to grow to this day.

Though they are also viewable within the general map collection on HistoricMapWorks.com, we have listed the currently viewable materials from The Perkins Collection archive below for your convenience. More materials will be dynamically added to this list as they are scanned and made available to our users.

If you have any questions about this exciting collection or the materials contained within, please get in touch.
