Scope and Contents

Published in May 2013, I Want You to Have This is a collection of 55 essays written by students from Boston International High School, all of whom speak English as a second language. Twice a week during the academic year, tutors from 826 Boston, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students with their creative and expository writing skills, went to the school to help edit and make suggestions about the students’ writing. The result is a collection of essays about an object that is important to each writer.

Processing Information

This electronic finding aid is transcribed from legacy data. In many cases, transcriptions were not verified against collection materials at the time of transcription. As a result, this finding aid could be incomplete and might only reflect a partial understanding of the material.

Statement on harmful description

Archival description reflects the biases of time periods and cultures in which it was created and may include direct quotations or descriptions that use inappropriate or harmful language. Creator provided descriptions may be maintained in order to preserve the context in which the collection was created and/or used. Legacy description and potentially offensive content may be made available online until a collection can be reprocessed because the access that they provide to primary source materials is uniquely valuable to the research community at large.
