Brockton Historical Society - which is the principle guardian of our remarkable heritage - is committed to producing a responsive project prototype. Under the aegis of brocktonma.com., concerned individuals and organizations throughout greater Brockton have been increasingly coming together in a grassroots effort to utilize the internet to more cooperatively promote the positive aspects of this city and region.

Brockton's rich 350 year history - involving "an extraordinary cross-section of people living in an extraordinarily special place" - reflects a unique microcosm of Americana. Accordingly, interactive computer access to the city's "practically ignored " regional identity is the cornerstones of Brocktonpride.com. For example, the incorporation of a regional "Electronic Multi-Cultural Heritage Trail" and a "virtual - electronic - Brockton" are not only clarifying the city's character and its "blurred" sense of place but are anticipated to generate more interest in area tourism than has been the case for over 50 years.
