Boston City Archivist John McColgan carefully peeled back the tape on a poster board at Copley Square where hundreds of visitors have written messages of hope and love for the Boston Marathon bombing victims, and marveled at just how many notes there were, from all over the world. âLayers, layers,â he murmured under his breath. âPeople have written on both sides.â He and a team of four other city workers and archivists were working Tuesday morning to preserve memorials made of paper.
