Massachusetts guide to public records by Commonwealth Magazine.
It's a simple equation: Transparency is only as good as the access available to public documents.
With this in mind, CommonWealth Magazine has set up an information page to help residents wade through the state’s public records request system. Here you’ll find detailed information on making public records requests, links to records available online at state websites, as well as links to CommonWealth’s own growing public records database.
