The National Park Service's own record of the Charles Street Meeting House, part of the Boston African American National Historic Site, carries direct institutional authority as the federal agency responsible for the site's historical designation and interpretation. Its limit is that it is a heritage record, not an independent scholarly history of the congregations, Black and white, Baptist and Unitarian, that have used the building across its history, which should be sought in dedicated studies.
