|  The
Network
The network is an outgrowth of the two "Gatherings"
held in Massachusetts in 1999--one in Boston in September
and another at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
in November--of scholars and others interested in Underground
Railroad research. The Gatherings themselves were organized
in response to the July 1998 National Underground Railroad
Network to Freedom Act, which among other things charges
the National Park Service with producing and distributing
materials about the Underground Railroad and providing
technical assistance to public and private entities
interested in Underground Railroad sites and activities.
