New Book Highlights the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

Local author tells the story using collection of vintage images
 
Feb. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Since opening for business on November 16, 1914, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has been an integral part of the economic life of the entire New England area.  Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston takes a look at this essential bank through more than 200 images.  Written by local author Diane Shephard for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and with a foreword by Eric S. Rosengren, the pictorial history is set to release on February 24, 2014.

Vintage images throughout the book show how the Boston Fed has played a prominent role in providing stability and strength to the region, from the outbreak of World War I through the technological challenges of Y2K and the dark days following the attacks on September 11, 2001.  By focusing on the people who made the Boston Fed a respected organization and the impact the bank has had on the city of Boston and its development, the book will allow readers to see a behind-the-scenes view of the bank.

Author Diane Shephard shares how beyond its financial role, the Boston Fed is also the story of Boston and all of New England. The transformation of the local economy, the changing face of the area’s population and workforce, the march of technology, the emerging roles of women and minorities—all are reflected in the history of the bank, its employees, and the people and institutions that it serves. As the Fed approaches its centennial year, it looks back upon an era of our nation’s history unprecedented in both its challenges and triumphs.
