The Information Centers from prior Boskones are still available. Note that these files are for historical interest only, so they are not maintained and some of the links may no longer work.

These links are to information about Boskone 36, but can be used to get an idea of what Boskone is like. They will be kept until the corresponding material for Boskone 37 is available. They also are, and will continue to be, available through the historical Boskone 36 information center.
