Rev. Dr. Harold Worthley sadly passed this October. Dr. Worthley was director of the Congregational Library in Boston, Massachusetts for more than a quarter century.He was also the first to inventory Massachusetts congregational church records. He was a forerunner, therefore, of our partner project, New England's Hidden Histories, hosted by the Congregational Library in Boston, and our own Inventory of Puritan and Dissenting Church Records.His work has been essential to students of colonial Massachusetts for decades. An obituary on Dr Worthley's remarkable life can be found in the Boston Globe here.&#160;
