Sporting history: 'Boston is to sports what Paris is to art' (The Associated Press)

BOSTON (AP) -- A vast trove of New England sports artifacts is being preserved by a museum nestled inside Boston's TD Garden.

The Sports Museum of New England is moving a large share of the uniforms, trophies, photos, films and other sports artifacts it has amassed over nearly four decades into secure storage, thanks to a partnership with Iron Mountain, a Boston-based records management company.

Most of the items being moved aren't currently on display at the TD Garden, home to the NHL's Bruins and the NBA's Celtics. They're part of the museum's growing off-site collection, which includes a veritable library of primary source materials like rare films, videos, photos, scrapbooks and diaries.
